Empire of Eternal Night: Midtown

Launching alongside Season 1, Empire of Eternal Night: Midtown is a Convoy map designed for Marvel Rivals' payload-style gameplay. Players either escort or defend a moving vehicle across the map. This is the third Convoy map in Rivals, joining Yggsgard: Yggdrasill Path and Tokyo 2099: Spider-Islands.

Midtown depicts a New York City shrouded in the darkness of Dracula's Blood Moon. Points of Interest include iconic Marvel locations and real-world Midtown Manhattan landmarks:

Empire of Eternal Night: The Mystical Sanctum Santorum

Doctor Strange's Sanctum Santorum, in its Empire of Eternal Night iteration, is a Season 1 addition and the exclusive home of the Doom Match mode. Doom Match is a free-for-all deathmatch; top-ranking players earn wins, with the top player receiving MVP.

This meticulously rendered version of Doctor Strange's mystical home, first appearing in a 1963 comic, is now famously featured in the MCU. In Rivals, the Sanctum Santorum serves as Earth's supernatural defense, packed with secrets, easter eggs, impossible architecture, and even a visitable Bats the Ghost Dog.

Empire of Eternal Night: Central Park

Expected to release later in Season 1, Central Park is set to feature a stylized Belvedere Castle, situated at one of the park's highest points. This Gothic structure provides a fitting backdrop for the Empire of Eternal Night theme, potentially serving as Dracula's New York City hideout. The map's design draws inspiration from the park's appearances in various Marvel properties, most recently in Marvel's Spider-Man 2 (2023).

These are all the new maps currently confirmed for Marvel Rivals Season 1.
