Marvel Rivals Season 1 is set to be huge, and the latest reveal doesn’t just indicate whole new gameplay possibilities, but also teases a massive expansion of the game’s lore.
Marvel Rivals Season 1, called Eternal Night Falls, is scheduled to start on Friday January 10 at 1am PST / 4am EST / 9am GMT / 8pm AEDT.
Not only are we getting the Fantastic Four as playable characters, but we’ll also be fighting a surprising vampiric villain that you don’t see in Marvel media all that often. Don’t worry, I’m not talking about Morbius.
The game launched a month ago on December 6 with Season 0: Dooms’ Rise to positive reviews, with many surprised at such a quick addition of new characters. Season 1: Eternal Night Falls will begin on January 10, 2025. They describe Marvel Rivals Season 1 as:
“Darkness engulfs New York as the Timestream Entanglement leaves Doctor Strange trapped in the Entangled Astral Plane, scattering the Darkhold pages. Dracula and Doctor Doom disrupt the moon’s orbit, plunging the city into eternal night and unleashing an army of vampiric creatures. With the world on the brink, the Fantastic Four join forces with iconic Marvel heroes, standing together in the epic battle to break the mystical darkness with science. Ignite the battle against Dracula with the Fantastic Four in Marvel Rivals!”
The members of the Fantastic Four are:
- Mister Fantastic (Reed Richards) – A genius scientist with the ability to stretch his body into any shape.
- Invisible Woman (Susan “Sue” Storm-Richards) – Reed’s wife who can turn invisible and create powerful force fields.
- Human Torch (Johnny Storm) – Sue’s younger brother who can engulf himself in flames and fly.
- The Thing (Ben Grimm) – Reed’s best friend, transformed into a super-strong, rock-like creature.
