The first half of Season 1 lasted from January 10 to February 21, 2025. This phase unveiled new heroes like Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman, the Doom Match game mode, and fresh maps including the Empire of Eternal Night: Midtown.
The latter half of Season 1 further enriched the gameplay experience. Notably, The Thing and Human Torch joined the roster, functioning as a Vanguard and Duelist, respectively.
