The New Era: Eternal Night Falls
The debut season, Eternal Night Falls, introduces a gripping storyline set in a perpetually dark New York City. The city is shrouded in an eternal night caused by Dracula and Doctor Doom, who have disrupted the moon’s orbit. Their actions unleash a terrifying army of vampiric creatures, plunging the Marvel universe into chaos.
The Fantastic Four—Mr. Fantastic, The Invisible Woman, The Thing, and Human Torch—take center stage, joining forces with other Marvel heroes to face off against Dracula and restore balance. While their roles in gameplay are still under wraps, fans speculate a staggered release, with two heroes arriving at launch and two mid-season, based on recent leaks.
