Streamer Miller Ross shared new details about the upcoming first season of Marvel Rivals Eternal Night Falls in a post on Twitter. According to him, Marvel Rivals will receive many balance and gameplay changes, new heroes will appear, as well as some general game changes regarding ranking and settings. So let's check Marvel Rivals Season 1 detail we know so far.

The first season Eternal Night Falls officially starts on January 10 at 4:00 AM Eastern Time (EST), offering twice the content, four iconic characters, three new maps, and significant gameplay updates that will change the game’s meta. It is known that Dracula will be the antagonist of the new season.

The season features members of the Fantastic Four team — Mister Fantastic, Invisible Woman, Human Torch, and Thing, who will become playable heroes. Mister Fantastic and Human Torch are classified by role as Duelists, Invisible Woman as a Strategist, and Thing joins the Vanguards. The blogger shared some gameplay videos showing how the character behaves and their abilities.

The first season will be twice as big as the zero season and will be divided into two parts:

• In the first half, players will gain access to Mister Fantastic, Invisible Woman, and new maps — Empire of Eternal Night: Midtown and Sanctum Sanctorum.
  
  
• The second part will add Human Torch, Thing, and the third map — Empire of Eternal Night: Central Park.

Players can purchase the updated Battle Pass for 990 Lattice (game currency). The pass includes 600 Lattice and 600 Units, as well as 10 new skins, particularly for Loki, Wolverine, Scarlet Witch, and Adam Warlock.

New Maps and Modes

New maps introduce unique mechanics and modes to the game. Sanctum Sanctorum is an arcade map with a new mode called Doom Match, while Empire of Eternal Night: Midtown introduces an escort map named Convoy, where players have to deliver a payload — H.E.R.B.I.E. The main feature of the Midtown map is the Recursive Destruction mechanic, which will periodically rewind time, changing the map's appearance.

Key Balance Changes and Ranked Mode

The first season will introduce major balance changes: Hela and Hawkeye will receive nerfs, while Captain America, Venom, Wolverine, Storm, and Cloak & Dagger will receive buffs. Additionally, Jeff's ultimate ability will be reworked to add more counterplay opportunities.

At the end of season 0, a hot list of heroes will appear on the game's official website, showing players the win rate and pick rate of heroes across different modes and platforms, but only for ranked. Ranked matches themselves will undergo significant changes: all players will lose seven divisions at the end of the zero season. A new rank, Celestial, will also be added between Grandmaster and Eternity.

Technical Game Changes

Among other improvements is the Hero Hot List, which will show hero pick frequency and win rates by game modes and platforms. Updates will occur once per half-season. New "potato" graphics settings, mouse acceleration options, and streamer mode for better privacy will also be added. The game will also feature new MVP animations for many characters, such as Scarlet Witch, Rocket Raccoon, Magneto, Wolverine, and more.

Considering that the 0 season of Marvel Rivals is coming to an end, new details and leaks about the first season Eternal Night Falls, which will bring many innovations and changes that players will warmly welcome, are increasingly intriguing. Players highly rate the game overall and its individual gameplay elements, which has breathed new life into the hero shooter genre, surpassing Overwatch.
