Marvel Rivals Season 1 Introduces Fantastic Four and Major Balance Changes

The new season launches January 10 with new characters, maps, game modes, and a sweeping update to hero balance in the popular hero shooter.

Season 1: Eternal Night Falls begins January 10, adding Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman as playable characters, with Human Torch and The Thing arriving later in the season.
The update includes three new maps, a new arcade game mode called Doom Match, and a seasonal storyline featuring Dracula and Doctor Doom as key antagonists.
Extensive balance changes will affect 26 of the 33 heroes, with buffs for underused characters like Black Widow and Storm, and nerfs for dominant picks like Doctor Strange and Hela.
A new battle pass offers 10 vampire-themed hero skins, with additional rewards available through Twitch Drops and in-game purchases, including the highly anticipated Malice skin for Invisible Woman.
Marvel Rivals has maintained a strong player base since its December launch, with over 10 million players in its first week and continued momentum leading into its first full season.
