Marvel Rivals Showcases Sanctum Sanctorum Map Coming in Season 1

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 January 10th at 1 AM PST as part of Season 1: Eternal Night Falls. This season introduces Dracula as the primary antagonist, pitting him against the Fantastic Four.

The Sanctum Sanctorum will be the battleground for the new Doom Match mode, a free-for-all brawl for 8-12 players where the top half emerges victorious. This isn't the only new location; Midtown and Central Park will also join the roster, 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 lavish décor with the bizarre. The video showcases floating kitchenware, a surprising cephalopod emerging from the fridge, winding staircases, levitating bookshelves, and mystical artifacts – all within Doctor Strange's magically-enhanced residence. Even a portrait of Wong and Doctor Strange's ghostly canine companion, Bats, make appearances.

The map's detail is striking, a stark contrast to the impending chaos of battle. While Dracula's machinations threaten Doctor Strange, the trailer hints at the Sorcerer Supreme's usual activities within this unique Sanctum Sanctorum.

With Doctor Strange temporarily out of commission, the Fantastic Four step up to defend New York. Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman debut in Season 1, with Human Torch and The Thing arriving later in a substantial mid-season update. The future of Marvel Rivals looks bright, filled with exciting new content for players.
