Marvel Rivals' Midnight Features event unveils official Blade artwork, fueling speculation about his Season 2 arrival as a playable character. Season 1's ongoing events include new maps, a new game mode, and a battle pass packed with cosmetic rewards.
Completing the five-chapter Midnight Features quests rewards players with Chrono Tokens, Units, and a free Thor skin. The Chapter 3 reward showcases Blade facing Dracula, the Season 1 antagonist, officially confirming Blade's presence in the game, although previously hinted at through data mining. The Season 1 narrative positions Dracula as having removed Blade and Doctor Strange from the battlefield.
The Blade artwork strongly suggests a playable role in Season 2. Fan theories anticipate a Fantastic Four victory over Dracula, freeing Blade and Doctor Strange. Many believe Blade's optimal role would be as a Duelist, potentially featuring a transformative ability similar to Magik and Hulk's ultimates, enhancing his strength, attacks, and providing wall-hacking capabilities.
Beyond Blade, leaked information reveals Ultron's complete ability set, hinting at a Strategist role with support and healing capabilities. While initially speculated for Season 1, his introduction might be delayed. It's crucial to remember that leaks, while often accurate, remain unconfirmed until official announcements. The abundance of upcoming content fuels significant player optimism for Marvel Rivals' future.
