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

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

Marvel Rivals Season 1, "Eternal Night Falls," is set to launch January 10th at 1 AM PST, bringing with it a host of exciting new content. This three-month season introduces Mister Fantastic (Duelist) and The Invisible Woman (Strategist) as playable characters, with The Thing and Human Torch joining the roster six to seven weeks later. The Baxter Building will also feature prominently in a new map.

NetEase Games' latest developer video blog detailed key additions: a new battle pass, three new maps, and a fresh game mode.

Battle Pass Rewards: The Season 1 battle pass, costing 990 Lattice, offers 10 new skins and refunds 600 Lattice and 600 Units upon completion.

New Game Mode: Doom Match: This arcade-style mode pits 8-12 players against each other across various maps, with the top 50% declared victorious.

New Maps:

• Empire of the Eternal Night: Sanctum Sanctorum (featured in Doom Match)
• Empire of the Eternal Night: Midtown (used for convoy missions)
• Empire of the Eternal Night: Central Park (launching in six to seven weeks)

The developers highlighted their commitment to player feedback, acknowledging concerns about character balance (specifically ranged characters like Hawkeye) and promising adjustments in the first half of the season. While rumors of a PvE mode circulated, they remained unaddressed in this update. The community's anticipation for Season 1 is palpable, given the extensive new content.
