Marvel Rivals Season 1 Missions Excite Fans

Marvel Rivals Season 1: Midnight Features Event Quests Receive Rave Reviews

The launch of Season 1: Eternal Night Falls in Marvel Rivals has been a resounding success for NetEase Games, exceeding expectations and setting new player records on Steam. Following recent DICE Award nomination and a PlayStation Players' Choice award, the game continues to garner positive feedback, particularly surrounding the newly introduced Midnight Features event quests.

Players have flooded social media with praise for these quests, highlighting their flexibility. The quests are completable across multiple game modes – Quick Play, Competitive, and crucially, against AI opponents. This feature has been especially welcomed by players seeking a less pressured environment to experiment with new heroes or focus on specific challenges. The improved rewards, including a Gallery Card showcasing Blade, have also contributed to the positive reception.

Reddit user Useful_You_8045 exemplifies this sentiment, specifically appreciating the AI option. The ability to play against the computer provides a low-stakes environment for learning and experimentation.

Beyond the gameplay, NetEase Games has enhanced the visual presentation of the event quests. An animated Midnight Features newspaper within the Events tab showcases each quest with dynamic imagery, adding a visually engaging layer to the experience. While not all quests are currently active (full unlock expected January 17th), the completion of all quests rewards players with a free Thor skin.

Further contributing to the positive player response are the generous additions in Season 1: two free skins in the battle pass (instead of one), new maps, a fresh game mode, and impactful balance changes. NetEase Games' commitment to community feedback and attention to detail has fostered a sense of optimism for the game's future, with the developers promising a new playable hero every six weeks. While future seasons will feature less content than the expansive Season 1, which includes the full Fantastic Four debut over three months, the consistent addition of new heroes is a welcome prospect for fans.
