Summary

• Blade's official artwork is revealed in Marvel Rivals, hinting at his potential debut as a playable character in Season 2.
• Midnight Features quests offer rewards like Chrono Tokens, Units, and a free skin for Thor in Marvel Rivals.
• Ultron's full ability kit was leaked, suggesting he may be the next character introduced in the game as a Strategist.

Marvel Rivals has unveiled the first look at the official artwork for the hero Blade during the game's Midnight Features event quests. As Season 1 progresses, players are diving into new maps, a new game mode, and a battle pass packed with exciting cosmetics.

The Midnight Features quests are accessible through the Season section of Marvel Rivals' menu. These quests are divided into five chapters, each containing three challenges. Completing these quests rewards players with Chrono Tokens, Units, and a complimentary skin for Thor. Although some challenges are time-locked, all five chapters will be fully available by January 17.

One of the notable rewards from completing Chapter 3 of the Midnight Features quests is a Gallery Card showcasing a battle between Season 1's antagonist, Dracula, and Blade. While rumors of Blade's inclusion in Marvel Rivals have circulated since his character model was discovered in the game's files, this is the first official confirmation from NetEase Games. According to the Season 1 storyline, Dracula has strategically removed Blade and Doctor Strange from the battlefield, considering them major threats to his schemes.

Marvel Rivals Reveals Official Artwork of Blade in Season 1

With Blade's appearance in the game's artwork, fans are speculating that he might debut as a playable character in Season 2. Many believe Season 1 will conclude with The Fantastic Four thwarting Dracula's plans to save New York City, Blade, and Doctor Strange. Discussions among players suggest that Blade could fit well as a Duelist. Leaks indicate that Blade may have a transformation ability in Marvel Rivals, similar to the ultimate abilities of Magik and Hulk, which would boost his strength, alter his attacks, and enable him to see enemies through walls.

Blade isn't the only character rumored for an upcoming release. Ultron's full ability kit was leaked during Season 0, hinting that he might be introduced as a Strategist, capable of providing healing and support to allies. Although leaks suggested Ultron might appear in Season 1, it seems NetEase Games shifted focus with the introduction of The Fantastic Four. While some leaks prove accurate, others may not, so fans should approach them with caution. With a wealth of content on the horizon, the future looks bright for Marvel Rivals.
