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 detailed Marvel Rivals' Season 1, "Eternal Night Falls," launching January 10th at 1 AM PST. This three-month season introduces Mister Fantastic (Duelist) and The Invisible Woman (Strategist) as playable characters, with The Thing and Human Torch arriving approximately six to seven weeks later. The Baxter Building will feature prominently in a new map.

The season's battle pass offers 10 new skins and costs 990 Lattice, with a reward of 600 Lattice and 600 Units upon completion. A key addition is the new "Doom Match" game mode, a fast-paced 8-12 player battle on the Empire of the Eternal Night: Sanctum Sanctorum map. Victory goes to the top 50%.

Three new maps are coming:

• 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 Season 1)

Central Park will launch in the second half of the season. While rumors of a PvE mode circulate, the developers didn't comment. The team emphasized the value of player feedback, acknowledging concerns about character balance (like Hawkeye's ranged advantage) and promising adjustments in the first half of Season 1. The community's positive response to these announcements highlights the anticipation for Season 1.
