Get ready for Marvel Rivals Season 1, launching January 10th at 1 AM PST! This three-month season introduces Mister Fantastic and the Invisible Woman, two highly anticipated characters. Mister Fantastic will be a Duelist, while the Invisible Woman takes on the Strategist role. Expect to see The Thing and Human Torch join the fray six to seven weeks into the season. The Baxter Building will also feature prominently in a new map.
The Season 1 battle pass offers 10 brand-new skins and a rewarding return of 600 Lattice and 600 Units upon completion (for a 990 Lattice purchase).
A thrilling new game mode, "Doom Match," will debut alongside three new maps:

Doom Match is an arcade-style mode pitting 8-12 players against each other, with the top 50% declared victorious.
Developer Response and Balancing
The developers highlighted their commitment to player feedback, acknowledging concerns about character balance (specifically ranged characters like Hawkeye). They plan to address these balance issues in the first half of Season 1. While rumors of a PvE mode circulate, the developers did not comment on these speculations. The excitement surrounding Season 1: Eternal Night Falls is palpable among fans.
