Marvel Rivals Unveils Season 1's Sanctum Sanctorum Map: A First Look
Season 1 of Marvel Rivals, "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 new Doom Match mode, a chaotic free-for-all battle royale for 8-12 players where the top half emerge victorious.
This isn't the only new addition to the game's landscape. Midtown Manhattan will feature in a new convoy mission, while a mysterious Central Park map is slated for a mid-season update.
The Sanctum Sanctorum itself is a visual feast, blending opulent décor with the surreal. The preview showcases bizarre elements, including floating kitchenware and a tentacled creature lurking in the refrigerator. Winding staircases, levitating bookshelves, and powerful artifacts further enhance the mystical atmosphere. Even a portrait of Doctor Strange himself adorns the walls, alongside a surprise appearance by Wong! And for fans of the mystical canine companion, Doctor Strange's ghost dog, Bats, makes a cameo.
The season's narrative focuses on Dracula's menacing presence, with the Fantastic Four stepping up to defend New York City. Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman join the fray at launch, while Human Torch and The Thing are set to arrive in the mid-season update.
