Marvel Unveils Dracula in 'Rivals' Season One

By GraceFeb 02,2025

Marvel Rivals: Dracula's Reign of Terror in Season 1: Eternal Night Falls

Marvel Rivals, boasting a vast roster of Marvel heroes and villains, introduces Dracula as the central antagonist in its first season, "Eternal Night Falls." This ancient Transylvanian vampire lord, also known as Count Vlad Dracula, aims to conquer present-day New York City.

Dracula's Abilities and Motives:

Dracula possesses formidable powers: superhuman strength, speed, agility, reflexes, and immortality with regenerative abilities. His arsenal also includes mind control, hypnosis, and shapeshifting, making him a formidable opponent. In Season 1, he leverages the power of Chronovium to manipulate the moon's orbit, plunging New York into perpetual darkness – his "Empire of Eternal Night." This sets the stage for a conflict with heroes like Spider-Man, Cloak & Dagger, Blade, and the Fantastic Four, who must unite to thwart his vampiric invasion.

Connecting to Marvel Comics Lore:

Marvel Rivals' Season 1 storyline draws inspiration from the 2024 Marvel Comics event, "Blood Hunt," known for its intense vampire-centric narrative. This event provides a rich backdrop for Dracula's actions within the game's universe.

Will Dracula Be a Playable Character?

Currently, there's no official announcement confirming Dracula's playable status. Considering Doctor Doom's role as the Season 0 antagonist without becoming a playable character, Dracula's playability remains uncertain. However, given his central role in Season 1's narrative, his presence will significantly impact gameplay through new modes and maps. Future updates will reflect any official announcements regarding his potential inclusion as a playable character in NetEase Games' hero shooter.
