Marvel Rivals Season 1: Eternal Night Falls – A Deep Dive into the Darkhold Battle Pass
Get ready for the chilling debut of Marvel Rivals Season 1, "Eternal Night Falls," launching January 10th at 1 AM PST! This season plunges players into a gothic nightmare orchestrated by Dracula, with Doctor Doom taking a temporary backseat. The Fantastic Four lead the charge against Dracula's forces after Doctor Strange falls victim to a cunning trap.
The Darkhold Battle Pass, priced at 990 Lattice (approximately $10), offers a wealth of rewards. Complete the pass to earn 600 Lattice and 600 Units, usable for future cosmetics or battle passes. Ten exclusive skins headline the rewards, alongside sprays, nameplates, emotes, and MVP animations. A reassuring note: the pass doesn't expire, allowing completion at your own pace.
A Sneak Peek at the Season 1 Skins:
NetEase Games has unveiled a stunning array of skins: Magneto's regal "King Magnus" attire (House of M inspired), Rocket Raccoon's Wild West "Bounty Hunter" getup, Iron Man's Dark Souls-esque "Blood Edge Armor," Peni Parker's vibrant "Blue Tarantula" suit, and Namor's striking green and gold "Savage Sub-Mariner" costume. The full lineup includes:
- Loki: All-Butcher
- Moon Knight: Blood Moon Knight
- Rocket Raccoon: Bounty Hunter
- Peni Parker: Blue Tarantula
- Magneto: King Magnus
- Namor: Savage Sub-Mariner
- Iron Man: Blood Edge Armor
- Adam Warlock: Blood Soul
- Scarlet Witch: Emporium Matron
- Wolverine: Blood Berserker
A Dark and Gloomy Aesthetic:
The season's overall aesthetic is undeniably dark. Wolverine's skin evokes Van Helsing, while a blood moon casts a sinister glow over the new New York City maps. Loki's "All-Butcher" skin is menacing, Moon Knight sports a striking black and white contrast, Scarlet Witch dons a signature red and purple ensemble, and Adam Warlock is clad in golden armor and a crimson cape.
Missing the Fantastic Four?
While the battle pass is generating significant excitement, the absence of Fantastic Four skins has surprised some. Invisible Woman and Mister Fantastic debut in Season 1, but their cosmetics will be available separately in the in-game shop.
The Future of Marvel Rivals:
With a captivating battle pass and the arrival of new heroes, Marvel Rivals Season 1 promises an exciting experience. The community eagerly anticipates NetEase Games' next moves.
