Summary
- Marvel Rivals unveils official Blade artwork, hinting at a potential Season 2 playable character debut.
- Midnight Features quests reward players with Chrono Tokens, Units, and a free Thor skin.
- Leaked Ultron abilities suggest a Strategist role, possibly as a future character.
Marvel Rivals' Season 1 introduces new maps, a game mode, and a battle pass, alongside the Midnight Features event. These quests, accessible via the in-game Season menu, are divided into five chapters, each with three challenges. Completing them rewards players with Chrono Tokens, Units, and a free Thor skin. All five chapters will be unlocked by January 17th.
Chapter 3's reward is a Gallery Card depicting Blade battling Dracula, Season 1's antagonist. While Blade's presence in the game files was previously rumored, this artwork marks the first official confirmation from NetEase Games. Season 1's narrative positions Blade and Doctor Strange as key threats removed from the battlefield by Dracula.
Marvel Rivals Reveals Official Artwork of Blade in Season 1
Blade's artwork fuels speculation about his arrival as a playable character in Season 2. A prevailing fan theory suggests Season 1 concludes with the Fantastic Four rescuing New York City, Blade, and Doctor Strange from Dracula. Many believe Blade would excel as a Duelist, potentially featuring a transformation ability similar to Magik and Hulk's ultimates, enhancing strength, altering attacks, and granting wall-hack capabilities.
Beyond Blade, leaked Ultron abilities from Season 0 suggest a Strategist role, offering support and healing. While initially predicted for Season 1, Ultron's introduction may have been shifted due to the Fantastic Four's arrival. It's crucial to remember that leaks, while often accurate, remain unconfirmed until official announcements. The abundance of upcoming content keeps Marvel Rivals players optimistic about the game's future.
