Players of Marvel Rivals are buzzing with excitement over the Midnight Features event quests introduced in Season 1: Eternal Night Falls. These quests have been a major hit, appreciated for their versatility across multiple game modes including Quick Play, Competitive, and matches against AI. The ability to tackle these challenges in a low-stakes environment against computer enemies has been especially welcomed by the community, allowing players to experiment with new heroes or focus on specific challenges without the pressure of human opponents.
NetEase Games, the developer behind Marvel Rivals, has been on a roll lately. Not only was the game nominated for a DICE award, but it also clinched the title of top new game in PlayStation's Players' Choice for December 2024. The launch of Season 1 also saw the game shatter its concurrent player record on Steam, highlighting the growing popularity of this hero shooter.
Looking ahead, NetEase Games has promised fans a steady stream of new content, with plans to introduce a new playable hero every month and a half. While Season 1 will see the full debut of the Fantastic Four over three months, future seasons are expected to feature less content. Nevertheless, the community remains enthusiastic about the regular influx of new characters.
On social media platforms like Reddit, user Useful_You_8045 praised the Midnight Features event quests, highlighting the diverse game modes in which they can be completed. The rewards for Season 1, such as a Gallery Card featuring Blade, have also been well-received, adding to the overall positive feedback.

The visual presentation of the event quests has also seen an upgrade, with NetEase Games introducing a Midnight Features newspaper within the game's Events tab. This creative touch features animated images and headlines from the Daily Bugle, making the quests feel more immersive. Although not all quests are currently available, players can expect them to fully unlock on January 17. Completing all event quests will reward players with a free Thor skin, adding even more incentive to participate.
Season 1 has brought numerous enhancements to Marvel Rivals, including two free skins in the battle pass instead of one, new maps, a new game mode, and balance changes to maintain fairness across the game's extensive character roster. NetEase Games' attention to detail and responsiveness to community feedback has fostered optimism about the future of this popular hero shooter.
