Marvel Map Hides Easter Egg Teasing New Figure

Marvel Rivals: Wong's Potential Inclusion Sparks Fan Speculation

A recently discovered Easter egg in the upcoming Marvel Rivals Season 1 has ignited speculation among players about the potential addition of Wong to the game's roster. The game, a multiplayer hero shooter akin to Overwatch, has already amassed over 10 million players in its first 72 hours, generating significant anticipation for new content.

Season 1, subtitled "Eternal Night," introduces Dracula as the main antagonist, hinting at a supernatural theme. This has led to predictions of characters like Blade, alongside the confirmed addition of the Fantastic Four (including their villainous counterparts, the Maker and Malice, as alternate skins). The season launches January 10th.

The source of the Wong speculation? A brief glimpse of a painting depicting Doctor Strange's mystical ally in the trailer for the new Sanctum Sanctorum map, as highlighted by Reddit user fugo_hate. This subtle cameo has fueled discussions regarding Wong's potential playable status and his likely magic-based abilities.

While the painting could simply be a tribute to a key Doctor Strange ally within the thematically appropriate Sanctum Sanctorum map (itself brimming with Marvel supernatural references), the possibility of a playable Wong excites fans. His popularity has soared in recent years thanks to Benedict Wong's MCU portrayal, following earlier appearances in games like Marvel: Ultimate Alliance (non-playable), Marvel Contest of Champions, Marvel Snap, and LEGO Marvel Superheroes 2.

Season 1: Eternal Night arrives later this week, offering players three new maps, a new Doom Match mode, and the playable Fantastic Four. The mystery of Wong's potential inclusion, however, remains a captivating topic for the Marvel Rivals community.
