- Leaked Ultron abilities suggest a possible Strategist role introduction, potentially later than initially anticipated.
Marvel Rivals' Season 1 introduces new maps, a game mode, and a battle pass, alongside the Midnight Features event. These quests, accessible via the in-game Season menu, are divided into five chapters, each with three challenges. Completing them rewards Chrono Tokens, Units, and a free Thor skin. All five chapters will be unlocked by January 17th.
Chapter 3 rewards players with a Gallery Card depicting Blade battling Dracula, Season 1's antagonist. While Blade's presence in the game files was previously rumored, this artwork marks the first official confirmation from NetEase Games. Season 1's narrative positions Dracula as having removed Blade and Doctor Strange from the battlefield.
Marvel Rivals Reveals Official Artwork of Blade in Season 1
Blade's appearance fuels speculation about his Season 2 debut as a playable character. A prevailing fan theory suggests Season 1 will conclude with the Fantastic Four rescuing New York City, Blade, and Doctor Strange from Dracula. Many believe Blade would excel as a Duelist, potentially featuring a transformation ability similar to Magik and Hulk's ultimate abilities—enhancing strength, altering attacks, and granting wall-hack vision.
Beyond Blade, leaked Ultron abilities from Season 0 suggest a Strategist role, offering support and healing. While initially anticipated for Season 1, Ultron's arrival may be delayed following the introduction of the Fantastic Four. It's important to remember that leaks, while often accurate, remain unconfirmed until official announcements. The abundance of upcoming content inspires considerable optimism for Marvel Rivals' future.
