Marvel Rivals' Season 1 introduces new maps, a game mode, and a battle pass, alongside the Midnight Features event. These quests, found in the Season menu, are divided into five chapters, each with three challenges. Completing them rewards Chrono Tokens, Units, and a free Thor skin. All chapters unlock by January 17th.

Chapter 3 rewards players with a Gallery Card depicting Blade battling Dracula, Season 1's antagonist. This marks the first official confirmation of Blade's presence in the game, following previous data-mined rumors. Season 1's storyline positions Dracula as having removed Blade and Doctor Strange from the battlefield.

Marvel Rivals Reveals Official Artwork of Blade in Season 1

Blade's artwork fuels speculation about his Season 2 debut as a playable character. Some players predict a Season 1 finale featuring the Fantastic Four defeating Dracula to rescue Blade, Doctor Strange, and New York City. Many believe Blade would excel as a Duelist, potentially featuring a transformation ability similar to Magik and Hulk's ultimates—enhancing strength, altering attacks, and granting wall-hack vision.

Beyond Blade, leaked Ultron abilities from Season 0 suggest a Strategist role, offering support and healing. While initially expected in Season 1, his arrival may be delayed following the Fantastic Four's introduction. It's important to remember that leaks are speculative until officially confirmed. Despite this, the abundance of upcoming content fuels player optimism for Marvel Rivals' future.
