Marvel Rivals' Season 1: Eternal Night Falls is off to a strong start, exceeding expectations and delighting players. The recent addition of Midnight Features event quests has been particularly well-received.
The quests, lauded on social media platforms like Reddit, offer players flexibility by allowing completion across multiple game modes: Quick Play, Competitive, and crucially, against AI opponents. This latter option has proven especially beneficial, providing a low-pressure environment for experimenting with new heroes and tackling challenges without competitive stress. The improved visual presentation of these quests, featuring animated images within a Daily Bugle-style newspaper interface, has also enhanced the overall player experience. While not all quests are immediately available (full unlock anticipated January 17th), the reward for completion—a free Thor skin—is a significant incentive.
Further contributing to the positive reception is the enhanced Season 1 battle pass, providing two free skins instead of the previous single offering. The addition of new maps, a fresh game mode, and implemented balance adjustments have also been cited as key improvements. The developers' commitment to regular content updates, promising a new playable hero every six weeks, further fuels player enthusiasm. While future seasons will reportedly feature less content than Season 1's ambitious Fantastic Four debut, the consistent release schedule assures a steady stream of fresh characters.
The success of Season 1, including a record-breaking concurrent player count on Steam and nominations for prestigious awards like the DICE Award and PlayStation's Players' Choice, underscores NetEase Games' commitment to community feedback and attention to detail. This proactive approach has fostered a positive outlook among players regarding the future of Marvel Rivals.
