Marvel Rivals has unveiled the official artwork for the iconic hero Blade as part of the game's engaging Midnight Features event quests. As Season 1 of Marvel Rivals progresses, players are diving into new maps, an exciting new game mode, and a rich battle pass brimming with enticing cosmetics.
To access the Midnight Features quests in Marvel Rivals, navigate to the Season section within the game's menu. These quests are organized into five chapters, each comprising three unique challenges. By completing these special quests, players can earn valuable rewards such as Chrono Tokens, Units, and a complimentary skin for Thor. While some challenges remain time-locked, all five chapters of the event will be fully unlocked by January 17.
A highlight among these rewards is the Gallery Card, earned upon completing Chapter 3 of the Midnight Features quests, which depicts a thrilling battle between Season 1's antagonist, Dracula, and the hero Blade. Although rumors of Blade's inclusion in Marvel Rivals circulated after his character model was discovered in the game files, this marks the first official confirmation from NetEase Games. The storyline for Season 1 reveals that Dracula strategically sidelined Blade and Doctor Strange, viewing them as significant threats to his sinister plans.
Marvel Rivals Reveals Official Artwork of Blade in Season 1
With Blade's appearance in the game's artwork, speculation is rife that he could make his playable debut in Season 2. Fans theorize that Season 1 might culminate with The Fantastic Four thwarting Dracula's scheme to save New York City, alongside Blade and Doctor Strange. Discussions among players often center on the ideal role for Blade, with many suggesting he would excel as a Duelist. Leaks indicate that Blade might have a transformation ability in Marvel Rivals, akin to the ultimate powers of Magik and Hulk, which would boost his strength, modify his attacks, and grant him the capability to see through walls to detect enemies.
Blade is not the only character rumored to join the roster soon. Ultron's complete ability set in Marvel Rivals was leaked during Season 0, suggesting he could be introduced as a Strategist capable of providing healing and support to his teammates. Initially expected to debut in Season 1, plans appear to have shifted with the introduction of The Fantastic Four. While leaks can be reliable, they are not always accurate, so fans should treat them as rumors until officially confirmed. With an abundance of exciting content on the horizon, the future of Marvel Rivals looks incredibly promising.
