Marvel Rivals Season 1 release date and time – here's when Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman join the hero shooter

With less than 24 hours to go, the Marvel Rivals Season 1 release date and time is nearly here, offering a slew of new content for the hero shooter when Eternal Night Falls lands.

While Marvel Rivals has been in the midst of 'Season 0' since launch, Eternal Night Falls is the first proper season for the game. As developer NetEase explains, that means you're getting "double the playable content of a regular season," with maps, heroes, balance changes, and more on the way including the first Marvel Rivals Battle Pass.

The story stitching all that content together sees the Fantastic Four join the game to stop Dracula's shenanigans. As such, you'll be able to play as the quartet once they join the roster, though keep in mind it won't all be at once as you'll have to wait until the second half of the season to try The Thing and Human Torch. Meanwhile, Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman will be available Marvel Rivals characters from the word go.

As for maps, we're getting Sanctum Sanctorum, Midtown, and Central Park, with the latter also coming in the second half of the season. NetEase is also taking a balance pass at Marvel Rivals that looks like bad news for Duelists and Jeff mains and likely good news for everyone else.

The entirely good news is that you'll be able to check all of this out for yourself real soon. Here's when Marvel Rivals Season 1 goes live in your time zone when Eternal Night Falls launches on January 10.
