Marvel Rivals Unveils Season 1's Sanctum Sanctorum Map: A First Look
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 game's newest mode, Doom Match, a chaotic free-for-all battle royale for 8-12 players where the top half emerges victorious.
This isn't the only new addition; Midtown and Central Park will also join the game's roster. Midtown will be the stage for a fresh convoy mission, while Central Park's role remains shrouded in mystery, promised for a significant mid-season update.
The Sanctum Sanctorum itself is a visual spectacle, blending opulent décor with surreal elements. The video reveal showcases bizarre details: floating kitchenware, a tentacled creature escaping the fridge, winding staircases, levitating bookshelves, and mystical artifacts. Even Doctor Strange's portrait and his ghostly canine companion, Bats, make appearances. The map's meticulous detail is evident, even down to a portrait of Wong, a beloved character making his debut in the game.
This season's narrative centers on Dracula's machinations against Doctor Strange, leaving the Fantastic Four to defend New York. Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman arrive with Season 1, while the Human Torch and The Thing are slated for the mid-season update. The anticipation is palpable as Marvel Rivals gears up for a season packed with exciting new content.
