Marvel Rivals' Season 1 Launches with "Darkhold" Battle Pass

Marvel Rivals Season 1: A Deep Dive into the "Eternal Night Falls" Battle Pass

NetEase Games has unveiled the Darkhold Battle Pass for Marvel Rivals' Season 1, "Eternal Night Falls," offering players a thrilling new experience. This season features Dracula as the primary antagonist, setting the stage for a dark and atmospheric gameplay experience. The Fantastic Four take center stage as they confront Dracula's forces after Doctor Strange falls victim to a cunning trap. Season 1 launches January 10th at 1 AM PST.

The battle pass, priced at 990 Lattice (approximately $10), provides substantial value. Completion rewards include 600 Lattice and 600 Units, usable for future cosmetic purchases or battle passes. Ten exclusive skins headline the rewards, accompanied by sprays, nameplates, emotes, and MVP animations. A key advantage: the pass doesn't expire, allowing players to complete it at their own pace.

A closer look at the Season 1 Battle Pass reveals a diverse array of character skins:

Marvel Rivals Season 1 Battle Pass Skins:

• Loki - All-Butcher
• Moon Knight - Blood Moon Knight
• Rocket Raccoon - Bounty Hunter
• Peni Parker - Blue Tarantula
• Magneto - King Magnus
• Namor - Savage Sub-Mariner
• Iron Man - Blood Edge Armor
• Adam Warlock - Blood Soul
• Scarlet Witch - Emporium Matron
• Wolverine - Blood Berserker

The season's aesthetic leans heavily into a dark and gothic theme. Wolverine's skin evokes a Van Helsing-esque vampire hunter, complementing the blood moon backdrop of the new New York City maps. Loki's All-Butcher skin exudes menace, while Moon Knight's black and white attire provides a stark contrast. Scarlet Witch retains her signature red and purple palette, and Adam Warlock sports golden armor with a crimson cape.

While the battle pass has generated significant excitement, the absence of Fantastic Four skins has surprised some. Invisible Woman and Mister Fantastic debut in Season 1, but their cosmetic options will be available through in-game purchases. Despite this, anticipation remains high for NetEase Games' next move in this burgeoning hero shooter.
