Blade Unveiled in Marvel Rivals

Summary

  • Blade's official artwork is unveiled in Marvel Rivals, suggesting his potential debut as a playable character in Season 2.
  • The Midnight Features quests in Marvel Rivals offer rewards like Chrono Tokens, Units, and a free Thor skin.
  • Leaks of Ultron's full ability kit hint at his possible introduction as a Strategist in the game.

Marvel Rivals has excited fans by revealing official artwork of the iconic hero Blade as part of the game's engaging Midnight Features event quests. As Season 1 progresses, players are diving into new maps, an innovative game mode, and a comprehensive battle pass brimming with cosmetic rewards.

To participate in the Midnight Features quests, players should navigate to the Season section within Marvel Rivals' menu. The event is structured into five chapters, each featuring three quests. By completing these quests, players can earn valuable rewards such as Chrono Tokens, Units, and a complimentary Thor skin. Although some quests are currently time-locked, all five chapters are set to be accessible by January 17.

A highlight of the rewards is the Gallery Card obtained upon completing Chapter 3, which showcases a dramatic confrontation between Season 1's antagonist, Dracula, and Blade. While rumors about Blade's inclusion have circulated since his character model was discovered in the game's files, this artwork marks the first official acknowledgment by NetEase Games. The Season 1 narrative explains that Dracula strategically removed Blade and Doctor Strange from the battlefield, viewing them as significant threats to his schemes.

Marvel Rivals Reveals Official Artwork of Blade in Season 1

The inclusion of Blade in the game's artwork has sparked speculation that he could be introduced as a playable character in Season 2. Many believe that Season 1 might conclude with The Fantastic Four thwarting Dracula's plans and rescuing New York City, alongside Blade and Doctor Strange. Discussions among players suggest that Blade would excel as a Duelist. Leaks indicate that Blade might feature a transformation ability akin to those of Magik and Hulk, enhancing his strength, modifying his attacks, and granting him the power to see enemies through walls.

Blade isn't the only character generating buzz. Leaks during Season 0 revealed Ultron's full ability kit, hinting at his potential role as a Strategist capable of healing and supporting allies. While some anticipated Ultron's arrival in Season 1, it appears that NetEase Games has adjusted its plans following the introduction of The Fantastic Four. As with all leaks, it's crucial to treat them as rumors until officially confirmed. With an array of exciting content on the horizon, the future looks bright for Marvel Rivals, keeping fans eagerly anticipating what's next.
