A prominent Marvel Rivals leaker, RivalsLeaks, hints at a potential PvE mode in development for the hero shooter. NetEase Games, the developer, has been actively expanding Marvel Rivals since launch, and the game is nearing the end of Season 0 and its Winter Celebration event.
Season 1 details have been announced, with a trailer showcasing Dracula as the season's main villain and the arrival of the Fantastic Four. A dark version of New York City is also teased as a potential new map. Season 1: Eternal Night Falls launches January 10th at 1 AM PST.
RivalsLeaks claims a source played an early version of the PvE mode, and another leaker, RivalsInfo, reportedly found related tags in game files. However, the leaker acknowledges the possibility of cancellation or delay. Another leak suggests a Capture the Flag mode is also in development, indicating NetEase Games' ambitious expansion plans for Marvel Rivals.
RivalsLeaks also reports that the villain Ultron has been pushed back to Season 2. A recent leak revealed Ultron's abilities as a Strategist utilizing drones for healing or attacking. With four new characters launching in Season 1, this delay is speculated to be due to resource allocation.
While some players express disappointment over Ultron's delayed arrival, speculation around Blade's release is growing. Given Season 1's Dracula villain and leaked Blade abilities, many anticipate his debut shortly after the Fantastic Four. The abundance of new information has generated significant excitement for Season 1: Eternal Night Falls.
