*Marvel Rivals* Season 1 is packed with exciting new content, including the addition of the Fantastic Four heroes and an array of new cosmetics. One of the most anticipated additions is the series of new Maps themed around Marvel's iconic New York. Here's a detailed look at every new map introduced in *Marvel Rivals* Season 1.
Empire of Eternal Night: Midtown was the first new map introduced in *Marvel Rivals* Season 1, launching right at the season's start. Designed as a Convoy map, it's tailored for the game's payload style mode where players must either escort or stop a moving vehicle as it travels across the map. This map joins the ranks of other Convoy maps like Yggsgard: Yggdrasill Path and Tokyo 2099: Spider-Islands.
Set under the eerie darkness of Dracula's Blood Moon, Empire of Eternal Night: Midtown showcases a haunting version of New York City. The map features several Points of Interest, blending iconic locations from the *Marvel* Universe with real-world Midtown Manhattan landmarks:
The Empire of Eternal Night version of Doctor Strange's Sanctum Santorum was added to *Marvel Rivals* in Season 1. This map is unique as it's the only one currently hosting the Doom Match mode—a free-for-all deathmatch where players fight to survive and eliminate others. At the end of the match, those in the top half of the leaderboard earn wins, with the top player being awarded MVP.
The Sanctum Santorum in *Rivals* is a stunning depiction of Doctor Strange's mystical mansion, which has been his home and headquarters since its introduction in a 1963 comic. Its fame has grown through its appearances in the *MCU*. Located in New York City, the Sanctum Santorum serves as Earth's supernatural defense in *Marvel Rivals*. The map is filled with secrets, Easter eggs, supernatural rooms with impossible ceilings, portals, and an infinite staircase. Players can even interact with Bats The Ghost Dog on the map.
Details about the Central Park map are still emerging as it's set to launch in the latter half of *Marvel Rivals* Season 1. In reality, Central Park lies in Manhattan between the Upper West Side and Upper East Side neighborhoods. It has been a staple in various *Marvel* properties, most notably in the 2023 *Marvel’s Spider-Man 2* video game.
In *Marvel Rivals*, the Central Park map will focus on a stylized version of Belvedere Castle, located at one of the park's highest points. This Gothic architectural gem will fit perfectly into the Empire of Eternal Night theme, potentially serving as a hideout for Dracula within New York City.
These are all the new maps introduced in *Marvel Rivals* Season 1, each offering unique gameplay experiences and stunning visual renditions of Marvel's New York.
