Marvel Easter Egg Hints At New Hero

Marvel Rivals Season 1: A Glimpse of Wong and the Arrival of the Fantastic Four

Marvel Rivals players are buzzing with excitement, fueled by a potential new addition to the roster: Wong. A recent trailer for the game's new Sanctum Sanctorum map revealed a brief shot of a painting depicting Doctor Strange's mystical ally, sparking speculation about his future inclusion as a playable character. This follows the game's incredibly successful launch, boasting over 10 million players in its first 72 hours.

Season 1, "Eternal Night," launching January 10th, features Dracula as the main antagonist, leading to predictions of more supernatural Marvel characters. This is confirmed with the addition of the entire Fantastic Four throughout the season, along with alternate skins for Mister Fantastic (as the Maker) and Invisible Woman (as Malice).

The Wong Easter Egg, spotted by Reddit user fugo_hate, has ignited a debate. Is it simply a fun reference within the Sanctum Sanctorum's many Marvel universe nods, or a subtle hint at future content? Wong's popularity, boosted by Benedict Wong's MCU portrayal, and his previous appearances in games like Marvel: Ultimate Alliance, Marvel Contest of Champions, Marvel Snap, and LEGO Marvel Superheroes 2, fuel the anticipation.

Season 1's arrival brings not only the Fantastic Four but also a new Doom Match mode and three new locations for players to explore. The mystery of Wong's potential addition remains, but one thing's for sure: Marvel Rivals' "Eternal Night" promises a thrilling start to the year.
