Marvel Rivals Reveals First Official Look at Blade

Marvel Rivals' Midnight Features event unveils official Blade artwork, fueling speculation about his Season 2 arrival as a playable character. Season 1's ongoing events include new maps, a fresh game mode, and a rewarding battle pass.

Completing the five-chapter Midnight Features quests yields Chrono Tokens, Units, and a free Thor skin. The Chapter 3 reward showcases Blade battling Dracula, officially confirming Blade's presence within the game, previously only hinted at through data mining. Season 1's narrative positions Dracula as having removed Blade and Doctor Strange from the conflict.

The Blade artwork strongly suggests a Season 2 debut. Fan theories anticipate a Fantastic Four victory over Dracula, freeing Blade and Doctor Strange. Many believe Blade's optimal role would be as a Duelist, potentially featuring a transformation ability similar to Magik and Hulk's ultimates—enhancing strength, modifying attacks, and granting wall-hack vision.

Further fueling anticipation, Ultron's complete ability kit leaked during Season 0. Initially predicted for Season 1, his potential role as a Strategist, offering support and healing, remains a possibility, though NetEase Games' plans may have shifted following the Fantastic Four's introduction. While leaks often prove accurate, players should treat them as unconfirmed rumors until official announcements. The abundance of upcoming content fosters significant optimism for Marvel Rivals' future.
