Marvel Rivals Reveals New Game Mode, New Maps, and Battle Pass Details for Season 1

Marvel Rivals Season 1: Eternal Night Falls – New Characters, Maps, and Game Mode Unveiled

NetEase Games recently unveiled exciting details for Marvel Rivals Season 1, launching January 10th at 1 AM PST. This three-month season introduces Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman, with The Thing and Human Torch arriving approximately six to seven weeks later. Mister Fantastic will be a Duelist, and Invisible Woman a Strategist. The Baxter Building will feature prominently in a new map.

The Season 1 battle pass offers 10 new skins and costs 990 Lattice, but players earn back 600 Lattice and 600 Units upon completion. A thrilling new game mode, "Doom Match," debuts, a fast-paced arcade-style battle royale for 8-12 players on maps like the newly revealed Empire of the Eternal Night: Sanctum Sanctorum. Only the top 50% emerge victorious.

Three new maps expand the game world:

• 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 in the season)

Central Park will arrive in the latter half of Season 1. While rumors of a PvE mode circulate, NetEase Games did not address them in this announcement. The developers emphasized their commitment to player feedback, acknowledging balance concerns (such as ranged character dominance) and promising adjustments in the first half of the season. The community's positive response to these announcements signals a highly anticipated launch.

Key Features Summary:

• New Characters: Mister Fantastic (Duelist), Invisible Woman (Strategist), The Thing & Human Torch (later in the season)
• New Maps: Empire of the Eternal Night: Sanctum Sanctorum, Midtown, and Central Park
• New Game Mode: Doom Match (8-12 players, top 50% win)
• Battle Pass: 10 new skins, 600 Lattice & 600 Units earned back.
