Marvel Rivals Season 1: A New York City Adventure Across Three Maps
Marvel Rivals Season 1 continues to expand its offerings with a wealth of new content, including the Fantastic Four and a trio of captivating new maps set in a Marvel-ized New York City. Let's explore each:
Empire of Eternal Night: Midtown
Launching alongside Season 1, this Convoy map immerses players in a dark, Dracula-infused Midtown Manhattan. Designed for the game's payload mode, players either escort or defend a moving vehicle across the map. This is the third Convoy map in Rivals, joining Yggsgard: Yggdrasill Path and Tokyo 2099: Spider-Islands.
Key locations include iconic Marvel and real-world landmarks:
- Baxter Building
- Grand Central Terminal
- Stark/Avengers Tower
- Fisk Tower
- Ardmore's Bookstore
- Timely Trend
Empire of Eternal Night: The Mystical Sanctum Santorum
Doctor Strange's Sanctum Santorum makes its Rivals debut as a unique map exclusively hosting the Doom Match mode. This free-for-all deathmatch challenges players to survive and eliminate opponents, with top performers earning victory and MVP honors. The map faithfully recreates the mystical mansion, showcasing its iconic features, including hidden secrets, impossible architecture, portals, and even a visitable Bats the Ghost Dog.
Empire of Eternal Night: Central Park
Expected to arrive later in Season 1, this map will feature a stylized Belvedere Castle, situated atop one of Central Park's highest points. This Gothic structure serves as a perfect backdrop for the "Empire of Eternal Night" theme, potentially acting as a hideout for Dracula within the game's version of New York City.
These three maps significantly enhance the Marvel Rivals Season 1 experience, offering diverse gameplay and visually stunning environments.
