• 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 official artwork of the hero Blade as part of the game's exciting Midnight Features event quests. As Season 1 progresses, players are diving into new maps, a fresh game mode, and a comprehensive battle pass packed with stunning cosmetics.

You can find the Midnight Features quests in the Season section of the game's menu. These challenges are organized into five chapters, each containing three quests. By completing the special Midnight Features quests in this hero shooter, players can earn rewards such as Chrono Tokens, Units, and even a free skin for Thor in Marvel Rivals. While some challenges are still time-locked, all five chapters of the event are expected to be unlocked by January 17.

Completing Chapter 3 of the game's Midnight Features quests rewards players with a Gallery Card showcasing Season 1's antagonist Dracula battling the hero Blade. Although rumors about Blade's arrival 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, believing them to be the greatest threats to his schemes.

Marvel Rivals Reveals Official Artwork of Blade in Season 1

With Blade's appearance in the game's artwork, many fans speculate that he could make his debut as a playable character in Season 2. Some players theorize that Season 1 will conclude with The Fantastic Four defeating Dracula to save New York City, Blade, and Doctor Strange. Discussions among gamers focus on which role might best suit the renowned vampire hunter, with many agreeing that he could excel as a Duelist. Leaks suggest that Blade will have a transformation in Marvel Rivals, similar to the ultimate abilities of Magik and Hulk. This power boost would reportedly enhance his strength, modify his attacks, and grant him the ability to see enemies through walls.

Blade isn't the only character rumored to be joining the game soon. Ultron's full ability kit in Marvel Rivals was leaked during Season 0, indicating that he might be introduced as a Strategist. This role would allow him to provide healing and support to allies on the battlefield. Initially, leakers believed Ultron might debut in Season 1, but it appears NetEase Games has adjusted its plans following the release of The Fantastic Four. While many leaks prove accurate, some never materialize, so fans should treat leaks as rumors until officially confirmed. With a wealth of content on the horizon, players are optimistic about the future of Marvel Rivals.
