Marvel Rivals Season 1: Eternal Night Falls – New Characters, Maps, and Game Mode Detailed
Marvel Rivals Season 1, "Eternal Night Falls," launching January 10th at 1 AM PST, brings exciting new content, including new characters, maps, and a fresh game mode. The season, lasting approximately three months, will feature Mister Fantastic (Duelist) and The Invisible Woman (Strategist) from the Fantastic Four, with The Thing and Human Torch arriving six to seven weeks later. The Baxter Building will also feature prominently in a new map.
This first season will introduce 10 new skins via a battle pass costing 990 Lattice, with a reward of 600 Lattice and 600 Units upon completion. A key addition is the new "Doom Match" game mode, an arcade-style battle royale for 8-12 players on the Empire of the Eternal Night: Sanctum Sanctorum map. Only the top 50% of players will emerge victorious.
Three new maps are slated for release:
- Empire of the Eternal Night: Sanctum Sanctorum (Doom Match)
- Empire of the Eternal Night: Midtown (Convoy Missions)
- Empire of the Eternal Night: Central Park (Details to be revealed later, launching in six to seven weeks)
The developers emphasized their commitment to community feedback, acknowledging concerns about character balance (e.g., Hawkeye's ranged advantage) and promising adjustments in the first half of Season 1. The anticipation for Season 1 is high among fans.
