There’s a lot of talk about Marvel Rivals Season 1 now that the launch period will be dubbed as Season 0. We are less than a month away from the month-long Doom’s Rise Season, so fans are curious about what’s next. All we know is that even more content will be coming to the shooter, promising a healthy roadmap of content.
NetEase Games released a video presentation talking about Season 0 coming out on December 6. It was also revealed that Season 0’s Battle Pass will have half the content of Season 1 and will be priced accordingly. Despite the lack of details, it’s clear that fans will have plenty to look forward to when Season 1 comes around.
Season 1 release date
During the NetEase video presentation, it was announced that Marvel Rivals Season 1 will come out in early January 2025. While an actual date wasn’t confirmed, there is a chance that the new Season will be released on January 6 or 7 of next year. The Doom’s Rise event is only one month away, so those dates are realistic.
Feedback and criticism from Season 0 might be addressed in Season 1, so the devs will try to buff or nerf characters before the next major update. Although a delay isn’t expected, it wouldn’t be too surprising if the devs decided to release the Season in mid-January.
Season 1 will probably follow the traditional format of other live-service games and last around three months.
Season 1 skins
There will be a ton of skins coming to the game, but it’s not yet known what will come out for Marvel Rivals Season 1. Plenty of quality costumes have already been teased for the Doom’s Rise Season 0 launch, so we hope the consistency continues.
Cosmetics based on the MCU and comic books were teased, so we expect a similar amount of synergy for Season 1 if not more. Original skins based on the game’s ongoing story will also be released. Having that good mix should keep players interested for a long time.
New Characters?
Marvel Rivals Season 0 is expected to launch with 33 playable heroes and villains. At the time of writing, there are 27 confirmed characters and six more who have yet to be revealed. It’s not yet known how many heroes or villains will be added per Season, but fans can expect at least one or two new characters coming in 2025.
