Marvel Rivals Unveils Blade Artwork, Hints at Season 2 Debut; Midnight Features Quests Offer Rewards
Marvel Rivals' Midnight Features event has treated players to the first official artwork of Blade, fueling speculation about his potential arrival as a playable character in Season 2. Season 1 is currently underway, introducing new maps, a new game mode, and a substantial battle pass.
The Midnight Features quests, located in the Season menu, are divided into five chapters, each with three quests. Completing these quests rewards players with Chrono Tokens, Units, and a free Thor skin. All five chapters are expected to be accessible by January 17th.
Chapter 3's reward is a Gallery Card depicting Blade facing Dracula, Season 1's antagonist. While Blade's presence in the game files had been previously rumored, this artwork marks the first official confirmation from NetEase Games. Season 1's narrative positions Dracula as having removed Blade and Doctor Strange from the battlefield.
Blade's Potential as a Playable Character:
Blade's appearance in the artwork strongly suggests a playable role in Season 2. Fan theories anticipate the Fantastic Four defeating Dracula to rescue New York City, Blade, and Doctor Strange, concluding Season 1. Many believe Blade would excel as a Duelist, potentially featuring a transformation ability similar to Magik and Hulk's ultimates, enhancing strength, modifying attacks, and granting wall-hack capabilities.
Ultron's Leaked Abilities:
Beyond Blade, the full ability kit for Ultron was leaked during Season 0, hinting at a Strategist role with healing and support capabilities. While initially anticipated for Season 1, his introduction appears delayed due to the Fantastic Four's arrival. It's important to remember that leaks, while often accurate, are not official confirmations.
The abundance of upcoming content keeps players optimistic about Marvel Rivals' future.
