Marvel Rivals Season 1: Wong Spotted, Fueling Speculation
The upcoming Season 1 of Marvel Rivals, "Eternal Night," launching January 10th, has ignited excitement among players. The season introduces Dracula as the main antagonist, alongside the Fantastic Four (including alternate skins for the Maker and Malice). However, a recent discovery has added another layer of anticipation.
A brief glimpse in the Sanctum Sanctorum map trailer reveals a painting of Wong, Doctor Strange's mystical ally. This subtle Easter egg, spotted by Reddit user fugo_hate, has fueled speculation that Wong might become a playable character in future updates. The inclusion of a Wong portrait within a map heavily referencing the mystical side of the Marvel universe is noteworthy.
This isn't Wong's first foray into gaming. He's appeared in titles like Marvel: Ultimate Alliance (non-playable), Marvel Contest of Champions, Marvel Snap, and LEGO Marvel Superheroes 2. His recent MCU prominence has undoubtedly boosted his popularity, making his potential addition to Marvel Rivals a highly anticipated prospect.
The game itself has already seen phenomenal success, boasting over 10 million players within its first 72 hours. Season 1 promises three new locations, a new Doom Match mode, and the arrival of Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman. Whether Wong joins the playable roster remains to be seen, but the Easter egg certainly adds intrigue to the already exciting launch of "Eternal Night."
