Marvel Rivals Season 1 Eternal Night Falls release date confirmed alongside Fantastic Four launch

As an avid gamer, I can’t help but be thrilled about the momentum NetEase Games’ Marvel Rivals is gaining, outpacing games such as Overwatch with apparent ease. Now that the initial launch phase has concluded, the developers have officially unveiled Season 1 – Eternal Night Falls as the game’s first significant expansion. This exciting update introduces iconic characters like the Fantastic Four, a fresh map, and additional content to enhance our gaming experience!

Marvel Rivals Season 1 release date

According to NetEase’s tweet, the upcoming season will introduce a fresh map depicting a vampiric version of New York, ravaged by dark forces. Along with this new map, the Fantastic Four are set to make their entrance into the game. With recent leaks revealing the Marvel superhero family, players can look forward to playing as these iconic characters soon.

On January 10th, 2025 at 1 AM Pacific Standard Time, we’re excited to announce the debut of a brand new season, along with a themed event! In line with our usual practice, all Marvel Rivals players will have access to the Fantastic Four – there won’t be any heroes hidden behind a paywall.

In New York City, the Timestream Entanglement ensnares Doctor Strange within the Tangled Astral Realm, causing the Darkhold books to scatter. Dracula and Doctor Doom manipulate the moon’s trajectory, casting the city into perpetual darkness and releasing a horde of vampire-like creatures. As the world teeters on the edge, the Fantastic Four team up with notable Marvel characters to combat this mystical gloom using science. Join the Fantastic Four in a thrilling struggle against Dracula within Marvel Rivals!

Fantastic Four join Marvel Rivals

In the debut of Season 1 – Eternal Night Falls, gamers can choose to play as two characters from the Fantastic Four: Mr. Fantastic and Invisible Woman. As the mid-season point approaches, additional members will be introduced: the Human Torch and The Thing, which all players can access in their gameplay.

During the first season, players will have the opportunity to control each member of the Fantastic Four, who were previously revealed. Playing with the whole team of Marvel’s original superhero family will reward special advantages in gameplay – similar to the climax of Tim Story’s beloved 2005 film.

Indeed, while Marvel Rivals Season 1 – Eternal Night Falls is expected to feature various events, it’s important to note that no specific events have been officially confirmed yet as of this writing.
