Netease Games’ Marvel Rivals is all set to launch its first content drop post Season 0, titled ‘Eternal Night Falls’, and it brings with it a ton of optimizations and new additions.
Dracula and Doctor Doom combine forces to unleash a night of otherworldly horrors on New York, and it is up to the Fantastic Four and the remainder of the Marvel Rivals team to thwart their plans for world domination, as part of the Season 1 content.

Why can’t I play Marvel Rivals?
If you cannot access Marvel Rivals, it is likely since the servers are down. As mentioned earlier, Rivals is undergoing server maintenance ahead of its Season 1 content drop, and you will have to wait until it concludes to be able to resume playing.
Try verifying the integrity of the game files, and checking your internet connectivity before attempting to troubleshoot further.
