Marvel Rivals' Season 1: Eternal Night Falls has been a resounding success, evidenced by player appreciation for the Midnight Features event quests and the game's recent achievements, including a DICE award nomination and PlayStation's Players' Choice award for top new game in December 2024. The season also broke concurrent player records on Steam.
While still early in Season 1, NetEase Games has revealed plans for future content, promising a new playable hero every month and a half. Although future seasons will feature less content than the expansive Season 1, which introduces the full Fantastic Four over three months, fans remain excited about the steady influx of new characters.

Positive feedback extends beyond the quests. Players appreciate improvements such as two free skins in the battle pass (instead of one), new maps, a new game mode, and balance adjustments. This dedication to player feedback and attention to detail fuels optimism for the game's future.
