Marvel Rivals Reveals First Official Look at Blade

Marvel Rivals' Midnight Features Event Hints at Blade's Arrival and Reveals Ultron's Abilities

Marvel Rivals' Season 1 Midnight Features event has unveiled official artwork of Blade, fueling speculation about his potential inclusion as a playable character in Season 2. The event, accessible via the in-game Season menu, comprises five chapters with three quests each. Completing these quests rewards players with Chrono Tokens, Units, and a free Thor skin. All chapters are expected to be available by January 17th.

Chapter 3's reward, a gallery card depicting Blade battling Dracula, marks the first official confirmation of Blade's presence in the game, following earlier data-mined discoveries. Season 1's narrative positions Dracula as having removed Blade and Doctor Strange from the battlefield.

The artwork's appearance has ignited fan theories, with many predicting Blade's debut as a playable Duelist in Season 2, potentially featuring a transformation ability similar to Magik and Hulk's ultimates. This transformation is rumored to enhance his strength, modify attacks, and grant wall-hack capabilities.

Meanwhile, leaks from Season 0 revealed Ultron's complete ability set, suggesting a Strategist role focused on healing and support for allies. While initially anticipated for Season 1, his arrival may be delayed due to the introduction of the Fantastic Four. It's crucial to remember that leaks remain unconfirmed until officially announced by NetEase Games.

Despite the uncertainty surrounding release dates, the abundance of upcoming content, including the confirmed Blade artwork and leaked Ultron abilities, keeps players optimistic about Marvel Rivals' future.
