The excitement surrounding Marvel Rivals’ current season has been palpable, with players thoroughly enjoying the introduction of the Fantastic Four. And the recent mid-season addition of Human Torch and The Thing has added to the hype. However, players are also excited about what’s next.

Many are beginning to wonder which new character or location from the vast Marvel Universe the developers will choose to highlight next. If dataminers are to be believed, it appears the next inspiration may come from the world of the X-Men, as they have discovered hints about a new map.
A new area to conquer for Marvel Rivals players

Recently, dedicated data miners found references to the Savage Lands in game files. These leaks have created a buzz within the gaming community, and fans of both Marvel Rivals and the X-Men are eagerly speculating what to expect from this supposed map.
For those unfamiliar, the Savage Lands, first introduced in X-Men comics in 1966, is one of Marvel’s most unique and dangerous locations. Situated in Antarctica, this prehistoric jungle is home to dinosaurs, ancient beasts, and mutant creatures alike.
It has been the site of countless battles between the X-Men and various foes, including Magneto, the Skrulls, and many others. It is known for its lush, dangerous terrain, filled with towering trees, winding rivers, and treacherous mountains. Many players are speculating the map might be similar to Ark’s world.

In terms of gameplay, this new map, if it is the Savage Lands, could bring all of that excitement to life. Given the map’s inspiration, we can expect the map to feature massive trees and rugged terrain, where players might encounter dinosaurs and destroy trees to make a favorable situation.
Just imagine a map filled with environmental hazards and wild animals that require new strategies to overcome while also dealing with other players. Players are eager to see how this map will balance exploration, combat, and strategic play.
When can we expect the map to arrive?

Given the recent datamines, the Savage Lands map may very well be added to Marvel Rivals in the upcoming season. Currently, the Fantastic Four battling against Dracula, and while it has been exciting, it seems to be reaching its natural conclusion.
Once this arc wraps up, it would make perfect sense for the next season to explore the X-Men universe. Even if we may have to wait a little while for the new map to make its official debut, it has already created enough excitement among the players.
It seems that similar to how the MCU has slowly begun to incorporate mutants and the X-Men into its larger narrative, Marvel Rivals seems poised to follow suit by diving deep into the rich history of the X-Men in the game.
In the end, as the game continues to evolve, the inclusion of the Savage Lands and its unique history promises to be a game-changer for fans and players alike.
