Empire of Eternal Night: Midtown
Empire of Eternal Night: Midtown was the first new map to be released in Marvel Rivals Season 1, debuting at the season's launch. This Convoy map is tailored for Marvel Rivals' payload mode, where players engage in escorting or stopping a moving vehicle across the map. It's the third Convoy map in Rivals, joining Yggsgard: Yggdrasill Path and Tokyo 2099: Spider-Islands.
Set under the eerie glow of Dracula's Blood Moon, Empire of Eternal Night: Midtown transforms New York City into a dark, thrilling battleground. The map includes several Points of Interest, blending iconic Marvel locations with real-world Midtown Manhattan landmarks:
- Baxter Building
- Grand Central Terminal
- Stark/Avengers Tower
- Fisk Tower
- Ardmore’s Bookstore
- Timely Trend
Empire of Eternal Night: The Mystical Sanctum Santorum
The Empire of Eternal Night version of Doctor Strange’s Sanctum Santorum was added to Marvel Rivals in Season 1, and it's currently the only map hosting the Doom Match mode. In this free-for-all deathmatch style, players battle to survive and eliminate opponents, with wins awarded to those in the top half of the leaderboard at the match's end. The overall best player earns the MVP title.
The Sanctum Santorum map beautifully captures the essence of Doctor Strange’s mystical mansion, a significant location since its debut in a 1963 comic and later in the MCU. Located in New York City, it serves as Earth’s supernatural defense hub in Marvel Rivals Season 1. The map is filled with secrets, easter eggs, supernatural rooms with impossible ceilings, portals, and an infinite staircase. Players can even interact with Bats The Ghost Dog within the map.
Empire of Eternal Night: Central Park
Details about the Central Park map are still emerging, as it is set to launch in the second half of Marvel Rivals Season 1. Central Park, nestled between Manhattan's Upper West and Upper East Sides, has been a frequent setting in Marvel media, most recently featured in the 2023 Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 video game.
In Marvel Rivals, the Central Park map will focus on a stylized rendition of Belvedere Castle, located at one of the park's highest points. Known for its Gothic architecture, this miniature castle will serve as a fitting setting for the Empire of Eternal Night theme, possibly becoming Dracula's hideout within New York City.
These are all the new maps introduced in Marvel Rivals Season 1, each offering unique gameplay experiences and thematic elements that enrich the game's universe.
