Attention Marvel fans: Season 1 of Marvel Rivals It starts this week on January 10th and finally brings a breath of fresh air to the game – including the Fantastic Four and an epic battle against Dracula. After the rather minimalist Season 0, players can look forward to extensive content and exciting new features.
Fantastic Four meet Dracula
Titled "Eternal Night Falls," Season 1 plunges players into a dark story where Dracula and Doctor Doom plunge New York into eternal darkness. As the ruthless vampire unleashes an army of vampiric creatures, the Fantastic Four – Mr. Fantastic, Invisible Woman, Human Torch, and The Thing – stand alongside legendary Marvel heroes to save the city.
The official description of the season suggests a mix of science and magic: "Dracula and Doctor Doom have disrupted the moon's orbit and trapped Doctor Strange in the astral realm. With the help of the Fantastic Four and science, an epic battle against the mystical darkness ignites."
Gameplay highlights and battle pass
Exactly how the Fantastic Four will be implemented in the gameplay remains unclear. However, it will be interesting to see how their unique abilities feel in multiplayer battles. The design of the Battle Pass and the rewards awaiting players will also be particularly intriguing.
Dracula's appearance lays the groundwork for the introduction of other iconic characters. Leaks suggest that Blade, the infamous vampire hunter, could soon appear as a playable character – possibly even this season.
While further details regarding the duration of the first season and additional content are still pending, the release trailer already promises a dense atmosphere and gripping battles. Fans should prepare for an intense time in Marvel Rivals set up, which is likely to bring new twists and turns with each update.
