The much-anticipated moment may arrive sooner than expected.
The Marvel Rivals launch was impressively robust for a gratis hero shooter, with a roster of more than 33 unique characters and eight dynamic maps.
Yet NetEase isn’t resting on its laurels. The gaming developer has already previewed the upcoming character additions and hinted at a New York City-inspired map for Season 1.
Read on to find out about the release date for Marvel Rivals Season 1 and what to anticipate in the update.
When will Marvel Rivals Season 1 be released?
The first season of Marvel Rivals is slated to start on January 11, 2025. The current Season 0: Doom’s Rise will likely wrap up on January 10, possibly followed by the launch of Season 1 on the next day.
Alternatively, Season 1 could also debut on the same day on January 10, but it would be prudent to await an official announcement from NetEase.
Any updates on the Marvel Rivals season 1 release date will be communicated as soon as NetEase makes an official announcement.
What’s in store for Marvel Rivals Season 1?
NetEase has made it known that the Fantastic Four will appear in Marvel Rivals. Although the official announcement didn’t provide a definite Season 1 release date, an earlier poster leak from China intimates it could be true.
The Fantastic Four trailer, scheduled for release on January 6, 2025, should deliver more comprehensive details on the characters’ roles, abilities, and probable release dates.
The introduction of new maps is anticipated for Marvel Rivals Season 1 and the Fantastic Four poster has already given a hint for a vampire-themed New York City-based landscape. This suggests the potential entrance of everyone’s beloved vampire hunter, Blade.
Speculation is rife about the addition of Blade and Ultron to the Marvel Rivals lineup.
Given that Season 1 will be considerably lengthy than Doom’s Rise, it’s possible that these characters could be incorporated in an update midway through the season or later.
In conclusion, expect an exciting array of skins and other aesthetic items for the existing and new Marvel Rivals characters in Season 1.
