Marvel Rivals has unveiled the official artwork of the hero Blade as part of its Midnight Features event quests. With Season 1 in full swing, players can dive into new maps, experience a fresh game mode, and enjoy a comprehensive battle pass filled with exciting cosmetics.
You can access the Midnight Features quests in the Season section of the Marvel Rivals menu. These quests are organized into five chapters, each containing three challenges. By completing these quests, players can earn rewards such as Chrono Tokens, Units, and a complimentary Thor skin. While some challenges are currently time-locked, all five chapters of the event will be fully accessible by January 17.
Completing Chapter 3 of the Midnight Features quests grants players a Gallery Card depicting Season 1's antagonist, Dracula, battling Blade. Although rumors about Blade's inclusion in Marvel Rivals have circulated since his character model was discovered in the game's files, this marks the first official acknowledgment by NetEase Games. The Season 1 storyline reveals that Dracula has removed both Blade and Doctor Strange from the battlefield, considering them significant threats to his plans.
Marvel Rivals Reveals Official Artwork of Blade in Season 1
The unveiling of Blade in the game's artwork has sparked speculation that he may debut as a playable character in Season 2. Many fans believe that Season 1 will conclude with The Fantastic Four thwarting Dracula's plans and rescuing New York City, along with Blade and Doctor Strange. Discussions among players suggest that Blade would excel as a Duelist. According to leaks, Blade might feature a transformation ability in Marvel Rivals, akin to the ultimate abilities of Magik and Hulk. This transformation could enhance his strength, modify his attacks, and enable him to see enemies through walls.
Blade isn't the only character rumored to join Marvel Rivals soon. Ultron's full ability kit was leaked during Season 0, indicating that he might be introduced as a Strategist, capable of providing healing and support to allies. Initially, it was speculated that Ultron would debut in Season 1, but with the release of The Fantastic Four, NetEase Games appears to have altered its plans. While leaks can often be accurate, they should be treated as rumors until officially confirmed. With a wealth of upcoming content, fans are optimistic about the future of Marvel Rivals.
