About Marvel Rivals Season 1
Marvel Rivals Season 1 will start on January 10 at 4 AM EDT. The season will be titled “Eternal Night Falls” and will focus on vampires such as Dracula. Only time will tell if the season will also include one of the most iconic vampires in history: Blade. Mr. Fantastic and Human Torch will be duelists (attack), The Thing will be a vanguard (Tank), and the Invisible Woman will be a strategist.
Mr. Fantastic and the Invisible Woman will release first on January 10. The Thing and Human Torch will be added later on. Additionally, a new mode will release, titled “Doom Match.” According to a press release, 8 to 12 players will battle on a single map, each belonging to a different faction, with all factions being hostile to each other. Players can earn points by knocking out enemies, and at the end of the match, the top 50% of players by default will be considered the winning side. A new seasonal event will also be available, titled Midnight Features.
Marvel Rivals is available now on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Check out our review of Marvel Rivals here, where we call the game “a masterful multiplayer title with infinite potential.”
