Just as it was announced last week, the Marvel Rivals Season 1 trailer is here, preparing players for the imminent arrival of the Fantastic Four to the roster of playable characters.

The trailer teases the season's story, in which we'll see Marvel's first family join the fight against Dracula and Doctor Doom. We can also spot a new skin for Doctor Strange, who has been using the Darkhold after being thrown into the Entangled Astral Plane.

Here is the cinematic trailer in case you haven't seen it and so you can look for other hints about the new content:

The trailer takes place in a New York City that has been put in an eternal night by Dracula and Doom, with a blood moon hovering over the skyline.

Many believe this will be introduced as a new map for Season 1, but this is just speculation and we will have to wait until later in the week for an official reveal.

According to a post from the RivalsLeak account on X, more information, trailers, and dev blogs about the new season will be released throughout this week, with the new map's reveal coming on January 8.

You can check our individual articles for Mr. Fantastic (Reed Richards), The Invisible Woman (Sue Storm), The Human Torch (Johnny Storm), and The Thing (Ben Grimm) because we will add all about their abilities once they're revealed.
