Marvel Rivals has unveiled official artwork of the hero Blade during its Midnight Features event quests. As Season 1 progresses, players can dive into new maps, a new game mode, and a battle pass packed with cosmetics.
The Midnight Features quests are accessible in the Season section of the game's menu, divided into five chapters, each with three quests. Completing these quests in the hero shooter grants rewards such as Chrono Tokens, Units, and a free Thor skin. While some challenges are still time-locked, all five chapters will be unlocked by January 17.
Completing Chapter 3 of the Midnight Features quests rewards players with a Gallery Card depicting Season 1's antagonist, Dracula, battling Blade. Although there have been rumors about Blade's inclusion since his model was discovered in the game's files, this is the first official confirmation from NetEase Games. According to the Season 1 storyline, Dracula has sidelined Blade and Doctor Strange, seeing them as significant threats to his schemes.
Marvel Rivals Reveals Official Artwork of Blade in Season 1
With Blade featured in the game's artwork, fans speculate he might debut as a playable character in Season 2. Many believe Season 1 will conclude with The Fantastic Four thwarting Dracula to save New York City, Blade, and Doctor Strange. Discussions among players suggest Blade could fit well as a Duelist. Leaks indicate Blade might have a transformation ability in Marvel Rivals, akin to Magik and Hulk's ultimate abilities, potentially boosting his strength, altering his attacks, and allowing him to see enemies through walls.
Blade isn't the only character rumored for an upcoming release; Ultron's full ability kit was leaked during Season 0. It's speculated that Ultron could be a Strategist, offering healing and support to teammates. Initially thought to appear in Season 1, Ultron's introduction might have been delayed due to the release of The Fantastic Four. While leaks often prove accurate, they should be treated as rumors until officially confirmed. With ample content on the horizon, players remain optimistic about Marvel Rivals' future.
