A "Dev Vision" video announced that Season 1 will contain double the usual content, a fitting scale for the Fantastic Four's introduction. Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman join the hero shooter at launch, with Human Torch and The Thing arriving in a substantial mid-season update.
NetEase Games also offered a closer look at the Midtown map, featuring the Baxter Building and Avengers Tower.

Marvel Rivals Shows Off Its New Midtown Map
The outdoor shots reveal a striking red sky dominated by a blood moon. A closer inspection of a street reveals a building seemingly belonging to Wilson Fisk—a first for the hero shooter. This follows a similar pattern seen in the Sanctum Sanctorum video, which featured a portrait of Wong. While potentially simple Easter eggs, these details have fueled speculation about future character additions.
The new maps have generated considerable excitement, but the arrival of Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman has particularly captivated fans. The addition of another Strategist character, especially after showcasing Invisible Woman's gameplay, has been met with enthusiastic approval. Mister Fantastic, perceived as a blend of Duelist and Vanguard roles, has also garnered significant excitement. With such a substantial content drop, the future of Marvel Rivals looks bright.
