Marvel Rivals Season 1: Eternal Night Falls – A Deep Dive into New Content
Get ready for the arrival of Mister Fantastic and The Invisible Woman in Marvel Rivals' Season 1, a three-month extravaganza launching January 10th at 1 AM PST! This season promises a wealth of new content, detailed in a recent developer video blog.
Key Highlights:
- New Playable Characters: Mister Fantastic (Duelist) and The Invisible Woman (Strategist) headline the season, with The Thing and Human Torch joining the roster six to seven weeks later. Expect the Baxter Building to feature prominently in new maps.
- Expanded Battle Pass: Unlock 10 brand-new skins while earning back 600 Lattice and 600 Units upon completion of the 990 Lattice battle pass.
- Intriguing New Game Mode: Doom Match: This arcade-style mode pits 8-12 players against each other across new maps, with the top 50% emerging victorious.
- Three New Maps: Explore the Empire of the Eternal Night across three distinct locations: Sanctum Sanctorum (used in Doom Match), Midtown (for convoy missions), and Central Park (arriving mid-season).
Developer Insights:
The developers emphasized their commitment to community feedback, acknowledging concerns about character balance (particularly ranged characters like Hawkeye) and promising adjustments in the first half of Season 1. While rumors of a PvE mode circulate, they remained unaddressed in this update.
The anticipation is palpable! Season 1: Eternal Night Falls is poised to deliver a significant upgrade to the Marvel Rivals experience.
