The video highlights the Baxter Building and Avengers Tower, bringing iconic locations to the game.

Marvel Rivals Showcases Its New Midtown Map
Outdoor shots reveal a striking red sky dominated by a blood moon. A closer inspection of a street unveils a building seemingly belonging to Wilson Fisk—a first for this hero shooter. This isn't unprecedented; the Sanctum Sanctorum video featured a portrait of Wong. These details, while potentially simple Easter eggs, have fueled fan speculation about future character additions.
The new maps have generated considerable excitement, but the arrival of Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman has particularly captivated fans. The community eagerly awaits another Strategist character, especially after seeing Invisible Woman's gameplay. Mister Fantastic also generates significant buzz, perceived as a blend of Duelist and Vanguard roles. With such a substantial content drop, the future of Marvel Rivals looks incredibly bright.
