Marvel Rivals season 1: Release date speculation and latest rumours

As a hardcore gamer with over two decades of experience under my belt, I must say that Marvel Rivals has been nothing short of a breath of fresh air in the gaming world. I remember the days when games were just simple pixelated graphics and basic gameplay mechanics. But now, with the rise of live-service games like Fortnite, Call of Duty, and Forza Horizon, we’re seeing a new era of interactive experiences that keep us coming back for more.

Marvel Rivals has managed to capture my attention in a way few other games have, thanks to its stunning graphics, intuitive gameplay, and the sheer number of characters available. I was skeptical at first, but after playing through season 0, I can confidently say that Marvel Rivals is here to stay.

Now, with season 1 on the horizon, I’m excited to see where this game goes next. The rumors and leaks suggest some amazing new characters, like the Fantastic Four and Angela, and the possibility of exploring New York City in a new map. If the developers can deliver on these promises, I have no doubt that season 1 will be even more successful than its predecessor.

I’m also glad to see that the developers are committed to keeping things free for players, rather than locking goodies behind paywalls. It’s a smart move that will keep the community engaged and excited for what’s next.

In terms of when we can expect season 1, I’m going with the prediction that it will drop on January 10th or the weekend following the end of season 0. We’ll just have to wait and see if my crystal ball was accurate this time!

Lastly, I can’t help but wonder what Marvel Rivals would look like with a Deadpool-themed map. Now that’s something I’d pay good money for!

Despite the massive triumph of Marvel Rivals, it’s worth noting that the game has yet to launch its inaugural season.

Let’s take a closer look at all the information we have gathered up to now about Marvel Rivals season 1, discussing our predictions for its release date and outlining its anticipated features.

In its debut season, competitors are eagerly preparing for an exciting start following a successful premiere, surpassing all predictions and featuring Jeff the Land Shark as the beloved fan-favorite in a festive winter event.

Based on rumors and leaks, we’re forming our expectations for the first season. Keep in mind that these should be taken with a grain of salt as their accuracy hasn’t been verified yet. However, so far, none of them have been disproven.

Keep reading for everything we know, including when season 1 of Marvel Rivals should drop. 

When is Marvel Rivals season 1? Release date speculation

In a sense, we’re venturing into unexplored regions, since this is the debut of a fresh Marvel Rivals season.

Although Season 0 concludes on Friday, 10th January in the UK, we anticipate that Season 1 might be made available on that same day or over the weekend following a brief period for updating and installation.

As we progress through multiple seasons, predicting the dynamics of Marvel Rivals should become more straightforward since it’s expected to adopt similar release patterns as popular live-service games such as Fortnite, Call of Duty: Black Ops VI and FIFA 25. This could lead to recognizable patterns in its schedule.

Marvel Rivals season 1 rumours and latest news

When examining possible spoilers for the upcoming season, you might notice a variety of distinct characters appearing within the code. But keep in mind that it’s rather unusual for all these characters to make their appearance simultaneously.

It seems that following a recent revelation, the Fantastic Four are set to make their debut in the first season, adding four fresh characters: namely, The Thing, Mr. Fantastic, The Human Torch, and The Invisible Woman.

The upcoming season is also speculated to unveil fresh maps with a New York City theme, as it’s the residence for many Marvel superheroes and a significant location showcased extensively in both comic books and movies.

In addition to Season 1, there’ll be a brand new Battle Pass for gamers to conquer, filled with items like character skins, virtual money, emotes, sprays, and much more!

The size of the upcoming battle pass remains uncertain, since the previous season (season 0) featured a smaller-scale battle pass because it was a shorter duration.

It’s great news that NetEase Games has announced that all newly introduced characters will be available within the game at no additional cost, meaning you won’t have to buy them individually.

This addition to the ongoing service is highly beneficial as it typically keeps certain rewards confined within pay barriers. It appears that four fresh characters might be unveiled gradually across the initial season; however, we’ll need to stay tuned for confirmation.

The other characters that have been leaked are listed below: 

  • Angela 
  • Blade
  • Captain Marvel 
  • Deadpool 
  • Emma Frost 
  • Hit-Monkey 
  • Jean Grey 
  • The Hood
  • Valkyrie 

As a lifelong fan of this particular genre, I am thrilled to my bones about the current developments. The anticipation is killing me to see where things go from here. I can’t help but feel that the best is yet to come!
