The event trailer released by NetEase Games has unveiled much of the season’s lore and plot details. According to the storyline, Doctor Strange finds himself trapped in the Entangled Astral Plane due to the Timestream Entanglement event, which has resulted in Marvel Rivals’ multiverse chaos. This disruption scatters the pages of the Darkhold, an ancient and malevolent grimoire, allowing Dracula to emerge.

Supported by Doctor Doom, Dracula disrupts the moon’s orbit. This plunges the world into darkness and unleashes a horde of vampiric creatures. In response, the Fantastic Four are tasked with combating this malevolent force and restoring order to New York City. Players can join these iconic heroes in their mission through New York City when the update arrives on January 10, 2025.

The storyline suggests that New York City is under attack. This implies that NYC will be one of the new maps featured in the game. This aligns with previous leaks and introduces an exciting new landscape for players to navigate and defend. The gothic and eerie aesthetics of the map will reflect the season’s dark and supernatural theme of Eternal Night Falls.
