Marvel Rivals Season 1 Content Halved in Future Seasons

Summary

• Marvel Rivals Season 1 features twice the content of a normal season.
• The developers wanted to release The Fantastic Four together, which led to a larger season than normal.
• Season 1: Eternal Night Falls will launch on January 10.

The developers of Marvel Rivals have announced that Season 1: Eternal Night Falls will be packed with double the content of a typical season. This exciting season is set to launch on January 10 at 1 AM PST, offering players an array of new experiences. Marvel Rivals seasons typically span three months, with a significant mid-season update to keep the gameplay fresh and engaging.

NetEase Games has revealed that Season 1 will introduce three new maps set in iconic New York City locations. The first map, the Sanctum Sanctorum, will be available at the season's start and will host the new Doom Match game mode. The Midtown map will be utilized for Convoy missions, where heroes will battle through the bustling streets. Details about the Central Park map are still under wraps, but more information will be shared as the mid-season update approaches.

In a recent Dev Vision video, Marvel Rivals' Creative Director Guangyun Chen highlighted that Season 1 will feature "double the playable content of a regular season." The decision to launch The Fantastic Four together was a key factor in creating this expansive season. Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman will join the roster at the start of Season 1, with Mister Fantastic classified as a Duelist and Invisible Woman as a Strategist. The Thing and Human Torch will follow in the mid-season update, expected around six to seven weeks after the season's launch.

While Season 1 promises a wealth of new content, NetEase Games has not yet detailed how this larger season will affect future updates regarding new features, maps, or game modes. Typically, the game introduces two new heroes or villains per season, and this pattern is expected to continue.

Although some fans were hoping to see Blade join the roster, the vampire hunter did not make the cut for Season 1. However, there remains a possibility for his inclusion in future updates. With the anticipation building around Season 1 and ongoing rumors about the game, fans are eager to see what NetEase Games has in store next.
