Marvel Rivals Season 1 Unveils the Mystical Sanctum Sanctorum Map
Marvel Rivals' Season 1: Eternal Night Falls, launching January 10th at 1 AM PST, introduces a thrilling new map: the Sanctum Sanctorum. This iconic location will host the new Doom Match mode, a chaotic free-for-all battle royale for 8-12 players where the top half emerges victorious. The season also features Dracula as the primary antagonist, with the Fantastic Four leading the charge against his forces.
Beyond the Sanctum Sanctorum, Season 1 expands Marvel Rivals with two additional maps: Midtown and Central Park. Midtown serves as the backdrop for a new convoy mission, promising intense street battles. Central Park's details remain shrouded in mystery, slated for a mid-season reveal.
A recent video showcased the Sanctum Sanctorum's unique blend of opulent décor and bizarre elements. The preview highlighted unusual features like floating kitchenware, a strange squid-like creature in the refrigerator, winding staircases, levitating bookshelves, and powerful artifacts. Even a cheerful portrait of Doctor Strange himself adorns the walls, alongside a surprising cameo of Wong – a character new to the game. The trailer concludes with a heartwarming glimpse of Doctor Strange's ghostly canine companion, Bats.
The Sanctum Sanctorum's detailed design is a testament to the developers' dedication, contrasting the impending battle with the sorcerer's usual tranquil setting. With Doctor Strange temporarily absent, the Fantastic Four take center stage, beginning with Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman at launch, and Human Torch and The Thing joining the fray in the mid-season update. The future of Marvel Rivals looks bright, filled with exciting new content and gameplay experiences.
