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 newest mode, Doom Match, a chaotic free-for-all battle royale for 8-12 players where the top half emerges victorious.
Beyond the Sanctum Sanctorum, players can also anticipate exploring Midtown (featuring a new convoy mission) and Central Park (arriving mid-season). The season's narrative centers around Dracula's menacing presence, with the Fantastic Four stepping up to defend New York City. Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman debut with Season 1, while Human Torch and The Thing join the fray in a later update.
A recent video showcased the Sanctum Sanctorum's unique blend of opulent décor and bizarre elements. Floating cookware, a refrigerator-dwelling squid-like creature, winding staircases, and magical artifacts create a visually captivating and unexpected atmosphere. Even subtle details, like a portrait of Wong and Doctor Strange's ghostly canine companion, Bats, add depth to the environment. The map's design reflects the meticulous attention to detail the developers have invested.
