Blade Comes to Marvel Rivals Game

Marvel Rivals Unveils Blade Artwork, Hints at Season 2 Debut

Marvel Rivals' Midnight Features event has treated players to official artwork of Blade, fueling speculation about his potential arrival as a playable character in Season 2. Season 1 is currently underway, offering new maps, a new game mode, and a compelling battle pass.

The Midnight Features quests, located in the Season menu, are divided into five chapters, each with three quests. Completing these quests rewards players with Chrono Tokens, Units, and a free Thor skin. All five chapters are expected to be accessible by January 17th.

Chapter 3's reward is a Gallery Card showcasing a confrontation between Blade and Season 1's antagonist, Dracula. While Blade's presence in the game files had been 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 battle, deeming them significant threats.

Blade's Potential as a Playable Character

The artwork's appearance has sparked widespread fan speculation about Blade's role in Season 2. A prevailing theory suggests the Fantastic Four will defeat Dracula, rescuing New York City, Blade, and Doctor Strange, concluding Season 1. Many believe Blade would excel as a Duelist, potentially possessing a transformation ability similar to Magik and Hulk's ultimate abilities – enhancing strength, modifying attacks, and granting wall-hack capabilities.

Ultron's Leaked Abilities

Beyond Blade, leaks from Season 0 revealed Ultron's complete ability kit, suggesting a Strategist role with healing and support capabilities. While initially anticipated for Season 1, his introduction seems delayed following the arrival of the Fantastic Four. It's important to remember that leaks, while often accurate, are not guaranteed, and should be treated as speculation until officially confirmed.

The abundance of upcoming content has generated significant excitement and optimism within the Marvel Rivals community.
