Marvel Rivals Updates: Halved Content in Future Seasons

Marvel Rivals Season 1: A Double-Sized Launch Featuring the Fantastic Four

Get ready for a massive start to Marvel Rivals! Season 1: Eternal Night Falls, launching January 10th at 1 AM PST, boasts double the content of a typical season. This unprecedented expansion is due to the developers' decision to introduce the Fantastic Four as a unified launch event.

This supersized season includes:

• Three New Maps: Explore iconic New York City locations: the Sanctum Sanctorum (launching with Season 1 and featuring the new Doom Match mode), Midtown (for Convoy missions), and Central Park (details to be revealed later).
• The Fantastic Four's Arrival: Mister Fantastic (Duelist) and Invisible Woman (Strategist) debut on January 10th. The Thing and Human Torch are slated for the mid-season update approximately six to seven weeks later.
• Extended Content: Expect a significantly longer season, roughly six months, compared to the standard three-month cycle.

While the expanded Season 1 doesn't explicitly detail the impact on future content releases, it's anticipated that the developer will maintain the pattern of adding two characters per subsequent season.

The absence of Blade, a previously rumored addition, has disappointed some fans. However, the sheer volume of new content in Season 1, coupled with ongoing speculation surrounding the game's future, keeps anticipation high for what NetEase Games has in store.
