Blade Unveiled in Marvel Rivals' First Official Look

Summary

• Blade's official artwork is revealed in Marvel Rivals, hinting at his potential debut as a playable character in Season 2.
• Midnight Features quests offer rewards like Chrono Tokens, Units, and a free skin for Thor in Marvel Rivals.
• Ultron's full ability kit was leaked, suggesting he may be the next character introduced in the game as a Strategist.

Marvel Rivals has unveiled the first official artwork of the hero Blade as part of the game's engaging Midnight Features event quests. As Season 1 unfolds, players are diving into new maps, a fresh game mode, and a rich battle pass packed with cosmetic rewards.

The Midnight Features quests are accessible through the Season section of Marvel Rivals' menu. These quests are organized into five chapters, each featuring three challenges. By completing these special quests, players can earn valuable rewards such as Chrono Tokens, Units, and a complimentary Thor skin. While some challenges remain locked until January 17, players can look forward to unlocking all five chapters of the event.

One highlight of the rewards is the Gallery Card from Chapter 3, which showcases Season 1's antagonist, Dracula, in a battle against Blade. Although rumors about Blade's inclusion in Marvel Rivals have circulated since his character model was discovered in the game's files, this is the first official confirmation from NetEase Games. The storyline of Season 1 reveals that Dracula has sidelined Blade and Doctor Strange, viewing them as major threats to his schemes.

Marvel Rivals Reveals Official Artwork of Blade in Season 1

With Blade's artwork now showcased in the game, many fans speculate that he could debut as a playable character in Season 2. There's a popular theory that Season 1 will conclude with The Fantastic Four thwarting Dracula's plans to save New York City, Blade, and Doctor Strange. Discussions among players suggest that Blade might fit well as a Duelist, with leaks indicating a transformation ability similar to those of Magik and Hulk. This transformation would reportedly boost his strength, modify his attacks, and grant him the ability to see enemies through walls.

Blade isn't the only character rumored to join the game soon; Ultron's full ability kit was leaked during Season 0. It's believed that Ultron could serve as a Strategist, offering healing and support to allies. Although initially expected to appear in Season 1, his introduction might have been postponed following the release of The Fantastic Four. While leaks often hold truth, they should be treated as rumors until officially confirmed. With an array of exciting content on the horizon, the future looks promising for Marvel Rivals.
