Dubbed Eternal Night, Season 1 kicks off the game’s update cycle with a massive wealth of content including the entirety of the Fantastic Four.While the massive post-launch update is exciting, NetEase is keen to make sure players know that future seasons won’t be this impressive. Sure, iconic characters and maps will be added alongside neat events, but the sheer wealth of Season 1 won’t be matched in the Season 2.In a recent video by the developers, which also revealed some massive nerfs for the new season, it was revealed that Marvel Rivals Season 1 – Eternal Night has “double the playable content of a regular season”.With four playable characters, three maps, new modes and more, Marvel Rivals Season 1 is stacked with goodies. Alongside a new battle pass with additional skins to earn, this first season feels more like a celebration of the game’s successful launch.NetEase explains that the reason behind this massive season is mostly to service the release of the Fantastic Four. Instead of releasing the characters individually, the team wanted to make sure all four characters were able to play with each other.“During our brainstorming sessions, we unanimously agreed that bringing them into Marvel Rivals in one Giant-Size season was the way to go,” said creative director Guangguang. “This two-in-one season features double the playable content of a regular season and will bring our total playable character count to 37.”This means that future seasons will likely release with two playable heroes or villains instead of the four players are getting with Season 1 – Eternal Night. Nevertheless, future seasons will hopefully still be as exciting as new characters make their debut in Marvel Rivals.Lewis White is a veteran games journalist with a decade of experience writing news, reviews, features and investigative pieces about game development with a focus on Halo and Xbox.
