Marvel Rivals Unveils Season 1's Sanctum Sanctorum Map: A First Look
Season 1 of Marvel Rivals, "Eternal Night Falls," launching January 10th at 1 AM PST, introduces a thrilling new map: the Sanctum Sanctorum. This iconic location will be the stage for a new 8-12 player Doom Match mode, a free-for-all where the top half emerges victorious.

A recent video showcased the Sanctum Sanctorum's unique blend of opulent décor and bizarre elements.

Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman join the roster at launch, with Human Torch and The Thing slated for the mid-season update.
