Marvel Rivals Unveils Season 1's Sanctum Sanctorum Map: A First Look
Get ready for a spooky showdown! NetEase Games has given us a sneak peek at the upcoming Sanctum Sanctorum map in Marvel Rivals, launching with Season 1: Eternal Night Falls on January 10th at 1 AM PST. This season introduces Dracula as the primary antagonist, pitting the Fantastic Four against his sinister forces.
The Sanctum Sanctorum will be one of three new maps in Season 1, serving as the battleground for the brand-new Doom Match mode. This chaotic free-for-all pits 8-12 players against each other, with the top half emerging victorious. Accompanying the Sanctum Sanctorum are Midtown and Central Park, with Midtown featuring a new convoy mission and Central Park slated for a mid-season update.
The Sanctum Sanctorum map itself is a visual treat, blending opulent décor with surreal elements. The video showcases a bizarre kitchen with floating cookware and a surprising cephalopod emerging from the refrigerator. Winding staircases, levitating bookshelves, and mystical artifacts add to the otherworldly atmosphere. Even a portrait of Doctor Strange himself adds a touch of whimsical charm. A surprising cameo by Wong, a fan-favorite character previously absent from the game, is also revealed. And for those paying close attention, Doctor Strange's ghostly canine companion, Bats, makes a cozy appearance.
The arrival of Season 1 also brings the Fantastic Four to the fray. Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman will join the roster at launch, with Human Torch and The Thing following in the mid-season update. With Dracula's nefarious plot threatening Doctor Strange and New York City, the Fantastic Four are poised to become the city's unlikely saviors.
