Marvel Rivals' Midnight Features Event Hints at Blade's Arrival and Reveals Ultron's Abilities
Marvel Rivals' Midnight Features event has unveiled official artwork of Blade, fueling speculation about his potential addition 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 depicting Blade battling Dracula, Season 1's antagonist. 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 battlefield.
Blade's Potential as a Playable Character:
The artwork strongly suggests Blade's introduction as a playable character in Season 2. Many players anticipate a Season 1 finale featuring the Fantastic Four defeating Dracula, rescuing Blade and Doctor Strange. Speculation abounds regarding Blade's potential role, with many believing he'd excel as a Duelist, possibly featuring a transformation ability similar to Magik and Hulk's ultimate abilities, enhancing his strength, modifying attacks, and granting wall-hack capabilities.
Ultron's Leaked Abilities:
Beyond Blade, leaks from Season 0 revealed Ultron's complete ability kit. He's anticipated to be a Strategist class character, offering support and healing to allies. While initially expected in Season 1, his arrival seems delayed following the introduction of the Fantastic Four. It's important to remember that leaks are speculative until officially confirmed by NetEase Games.
The abundance of upcoming content keeps players enthusiastic about Marvel Rivals' future.
