In the video, the outdoor scenes feature a striking red sky with a blood moon, adding a dramatic backdrop to the map. One street scene reveals a building associated with Wilson Fisk, marking the first mention of the character in the game. This follows a pattern of maps incorporating new characters, as seen with a portrait of Wong in the recent Sanctum Sanctorum video. While these details may be nods to the comics, some fans speculate they could hint at future character additions to Marvel Rivals.
The gaming community is buzzing with excitement over the new maps, but the anticipation is especially high for Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman. Fans are thrilled about the addition of another Strategist and are particularly impressed by Invisible Woman's gameplay. Mister Fantastic is seen as a versatile hero, blending elements of the Duelist and Vanguard roles. With so much new content on the horizon, the future looks bright for Marvel Rivals.
