Empire of Eternal Night: Midtown
Launched at the start of Season 1, Midtown is a Convoy map designed for the game's payload mode. 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 dark, Dracula's Blood Moon-infused version of New York City, featuring iconic Marvel and real-world locations:
- Baxter Building
- Grand Central Terminal
- Stark/Avengers Tower
- Fisk Tower
- Ardmore’s Bookstore
- Timely Trend
Empire of Eternal Night: The Mystical Sanctum Santorum
This map, a unique Empire of Eternal Night rendition of Doctor Strange's Sanctum Santorum, is exclusive to the Doom Match mode—a free-for-all deathmatch. Top-performing players earn wins, with the highest scorer receiving MVP.
The Sanctum Santorum, faithfully recreated from its comic book origins (1963) and MCU appearances, serves as Earth's supernatural defense in this season. Expect hidden secrets, impossible architecture, portals, and even a chance to interact with Bats the Ghost Dog.
Empire of Eternal Night: Central Park
Scheduled for 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 a New York City hideout for Dracula. Inspired by its appearances in various Marvel media, most recently Marvel's Spider-Man 2 (2023), this map promises a unique gameplay experience.
These are all the new maps currently confirmed for Marvel Rivals Season 1.
