• 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 first official artwork of the iconic hero Blade as part of the game's Midnight Features event quests. With Season 1 of Marvel Rivals now in full swing, players can dive into new maps, a new game mode, and enjoy a comprehensive battle pass packed with exciting cosmetics.

To participate in the Midnight Features quests, navigate to the Season section of the game's menu. These quests are divided into five chapters, each containing three challenges. By completing these special quests in the hero shooter, players can earn valuable rewards such as Chrono Tokens, Units, and a complimentary Thor skin. While some challenges are currently locked and will become available over time, all five chapters of the event will be fully unlocked by January 17.

The reward for completing Chapter 3 of the Midnight Features quests is a unique Gallery Card showcasing Season 1's antagonist, Dracula, in combat with the hero Blade. Although rumors about Blade's inclusion 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 of his presence. The storyline for Season 1 reveals that Dracula has strategically removed Blade and Doctor Strange from the battlefield, viewing them as significant threats to his plans.

Marvel Rivals Reveals Official Artwork of Blade in Season 1

The introduction of Blade's artwork has sparked speculation among fans that he might debut as a playable character in Season 2. There's a strong belief that Season 1 will conclude with The Fantastic Four thwarting Dracula's plans to save New York City, Blade, and Doctor Strange. Discussions among the gaming community suggest that Blade could excel as a Duelist. Leaks indicate that Blade may have a transformation ability in Marvel Rivals, similar to the ultimate abilities of Magik and Hulk, which would enhance his strength, modify his attacks, and grant him the ability to see enemies through walls.

Blade isn't the only character rumored to join the game soon. Ultron's full ability kit was leaked during Season 0, hinting that he might be introduced as a Strategist, capable of providing healing and support to allies. Initially, it was thought Ultron would appear in Season 1, but with the release of The Fantastic Four, NetEase Games seems to have altered its plans. While leaks often prove accurate, they should be treated as rumors until officially confirmed. With a wealth of content on the horizon, the future of Marvel Rivals looks promising, keeping players eagerly anticipating what's next.
