Empire of Eternal Night: The Mystical Sanctum Santorum
Also a Season 1 addition, this version of Doctor Strange's Sanctum Santorum is unique as the exclusive home of the Doom Match mode – a free-for-all deathmatch. Leaderboard rankings determine winners and MVP.
This visually stunning map faithfully recreates the mystical mansion, first seen in a 1963 comic and famously featured in the MCU. Expect hidden secrets, impossible architecture, portals, and even a chance encounter with Bats the Ghost Dog.
Empire of Eternal Night: Central Park
Expected to arrive later in Season 1, this map features a stylized Belvedere Castle, situated at one of Central Park's highest points. Its Gothic architecture provides a fitting backdrop for the Empire of Eternal Night theme, likely serving as a hideout for Dracula within the game's version of New York City.
This concludes the overview of the new maps in Marvel Rivals Season 1.
