Marvel Rivals is a competitive game set in the multiverse, so it’s fitting that you play on a number of different maps.
As of season 2 (which added a new character from the X-Men comics, Emma Frost), there are now 11 maps in Marvel Rivals, all inspired by locations from the Marvel Comics universe. You’ll play three modes across those maps.
There are also two arcade modes and maps, which offer a different gameplay style using the same heroes. Developer NetEase Games says it will add more maps and modes via the seasonal model for Marvel Rivals.
In this Marvel Rivals guide, we’ll walk you through all maps in Marvel Rivals season 2, alongside descriptions of the modes you’ll play on those maps.
All Marvel Rivals game modes in season 2
There are three main game modes in Marvel Rivals — Convoy, Domination, and Convergence — each played on specific maps, and available in both quick match and ranked. Here’s a rundown of the available game modes in Marvel Rivals as of season 2:
In Convoy, your team will be randomly assigned offense or defense to start. As offense, your objective is to escort a cart or moving object through the map by standing near it, which the defenders will attempt to stop by killing you and your teammates. If the offensive team escorts the convoy to the end of the map within a time limit, they win.In Domination, your team and the enemy team will attack a single point on one of a handful of small maps. Whoever captures the point must hold it until it reaches 100%. Whoever captures the point will take the lead. The mode will then jump to another small map and repeat the objective. The first team to reach two captured points wins.In Convergence, your team will randomly be assigned offense or defense to start. As offense, your objective is to attack the first checkpoint on the map and secure it by standing inside. Defenders will be able to reach the point before you, and their job is to kill any offensive players trying to get in. If the offense successfully captures a checkpoint in time, they’ll move along the map to the next checkpoint. If the offensive team can capture three checkpoints in time, they win.
There are also two arcade game modes, which allow you to play as the same roster of heroes in a less stressful environment:
In Conquest, you and 11 other players will battle in a free-for-all deathmatch on the Ninomaru map. When enemies die, they drop Chronovium, which you can collect. The first player to collect enough Chronovium wins.In Doom Match, you and 11 other players will battle in a free-for-all deathmatch on the Sanctum Sanctorum map. You are able to double-up on heroes in this mode, meaning you can get into a duel with a group of Peni Parkers or multiple Mister Fantastics. You get points for defeating enemies, and the top 50% of players at the end of the match win.
All Marvel Rivals multiplayer maps in season 2
There are 11 main maps and two arcade maps in Marvel Rivals, all of which take place in seven different regions of the Marvel Universe (pictured in the gallery above). There are multiple maps that take place in the same region, and maps are specific to the modes that are played on them — meaning there are no maps that you play both Domination and Convoy on.
