Season 1 Propels Marvel Rivals Game to New Heights

Marvel Rivals Shatters Steam Player Records with Season 1 Launch

Season 1: Eternal Night Falls of Marvel Rivals has achieved a phenomenal success, breaking its own Steam concurrent player record with over 560,000 players simultaneously enjoying the game. This surge is fueled by the introduction of the Fantastic Four, exciting new maps, and a captivating new game mode.

The new season plunges players into a thrilling battle against Dracula, who has imprisoned Doctor Strange and seized control of New York City. Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman lead the charge, with Human Torch and The Thing slated to join the fight in a substantial mid-season update.

New maps, including the iconic Sanctum Sanctorum and the bustling Midtown, add depth to the gameplay. Midtown features prominently in convoy missions, while the Sanctum Sanctorum serves as the backdrop for the thrilling new Doom Match mode.

NetEase Games' strategic approach to player acquisition is evident. The developer is actively engaging players with free cosmetic rewards. The Midnight Features event offers a free Thor skin, Twitch Drops provide a free Hela skin, and the Darkhold battle pass generously includes free skins for Peni Parker and Scarlet Witch, even without purchasing the premium version.

This impressive Steam player count, alongside the previously announced 20 million players across all platforms (PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S), showcases the game's broad appeal and successful launch. The momentum generated by Season 1 suggests a bright future for Marvel Rivals.
