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 inclusion as a playable character in Season 2. Season 1 already offers new maps, a fresh game mode, and a compelling battle pass.
The five-chapter Midnight Features quests, accessible through the Season menu, reward players with Chrono Tokens, Units, and a free Thor skin. Completion of Chapter 3 unlocks a Gallery Card depicting Blade battling Dracula, Season 1's antagonist. This artwork marks the first official confirmation of Blade's existence within the game, following previous data-mined discoveries. Season 1's narrative positions Dracula as having removed Blade and Doctor Strange from the conflict.
The artwork's appearance strongly suggests Blade's debut as a playable character in Season 2. Fan theories predict a Season 1 finale featuring the Fantastic Four defeating Dracula and rescuing Blade and Doctor Strange. Many believe Blade would excel as a Duelist, potentially featuring a transformation ability similar to Magik and Hulk's ultimates, enhancing strength, modifying attacks, and granting wall-hack capabilities.
Further fueling anticipation, a leak revealed Ultron's complete ability set during Season 0. Speculation points towards Ultron's role as a Strategist, offering support and healing to allies. While initially predicted for Season 1, his introduction seems postponed following the Fantastic Four's arrival. It's important to remember that leaks remain unconfirmed until official announcements.
The abundance of upcoming content keeps players optimistic about Marvel Rivals' future.
