Marvel Rivals is a competitive game set in the multiverse, so it’s fitting that you play on a number of different maps.

At launch, there are eight maps in Marvel Rivals, all inspired by locations from the Marvel Comics universe. You’ll play three modes across those maps. 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 each of the eight core maps in Marvel Rivals, alongside descriptions of the modes you’ll play on those maps.

There are three 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 0:

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.

Right now, as part of the Winter Celebration event, which runs from Dec. 20, 2024, to Jan. 9, 2025, there’s one temporary mode:

In Jeff’s Winter Splash Festival, your team of four will be asked to paint the Yggsgard: Royal Palace map with as much snow as possible in three minutes. The enemy team will be doing the same thing, and the winner is determined by who has painted more of the map when the time is up. The twist here is that all eight players are playing a variation of Jeff the Land Shark with winter-themed abilities. You can earn a winter-themed free Jeff skin by playing Jeff’s Winter Splash Festival.

There are eight maps in Marvel Rivals, all of which take place in five 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.

Here is the full list of core maps in season 0 of Marvel Rivals, and the modes associated with each one:
