Vampiric Origin: Dracula Debuts in Marvel Rivals Season 1

Marvel Rivals' Season 1: Eternal Night Falls introduces Dracula as the primary antagonist, teaming up with Doctor Doom to manipulate the moon's orbit and plunge New York City into darkness. This guide delves into Dracula's role and abilities within the game's lore.

Count Vlad Dracula, a Transylvanian nobleman transformed into a powerful vampire lord, aims to conquer present-day New York. His formidable abilities include superhuman attributes (strength, speed, stamina, agility, reflexes), immortality, regeneration, mind control, hypnosis, and shapeshifting.

Dracula's Season 1 Scheme

Using Chronovium, Dracula disrupts the moon's orbit, creating an "Empire of Eternal Night" and unleashing his vampire army upon New York. Heroes like Spider-Man, Cloak & Dagger, Blade, and the Fantastic Four must unite to thwart his plan. This storyline draws inspiration from Marvel's 2024 "Blood Hunt" comic event, known for its intense vampire-centric narrative.

Dracula as a Playable Character?

Currently, there's no official confirmation of Dracula's playable status in Marvel Rivals. Considering Doctor Doom's role as Season 0's antagonist without becoming playable, Dracula's playability remains uncertain. However, his central role in Season 1 strongly suggests future inclusion as a playable character, influencing game modes and maps in the meantime. This guide will be updated should NetEase Games announce his addition to the roster.
