Dracula Bites Into Marvel Rivals

Marvel Rivals: Dracula's Reign of Terror in Season 1: Eternal Night Falls

Marvel Rivals, drawing from the vast Marvel universe, introduces a compelling roster of heroes and villains. Season 1: Eternal Night Falls spotlights Dracula as its primary antagonist. This season plunges New York City into chaos as Dracula, alongside Doctor Doom, manipulates the moon's orbit, plunging the city into darkness. This guide details Dracula's role and influence within the game's lore.

Who is Marvel Rivals' Dracula?

Count Vlad Dracula, the iconic Transylvanian vampire lord, serves as the main villain in Season 1. His ambition? To conquer present-day New York City and establish his "Empire of Eternal Night."

Dracula possesses formidable abilities: superhuman strength, speed, stamina, agility, and reflexes. His immortality and regenerative powers make him a formidable foe. He also commands mind control, hypnosis, and shapeshifting, adding layers of strategic complexity to his attacks.

Dracula's Role in Season 1

In Season 1, Dracula leverages the power of Chronovium to disrupt the moon's orbit, plunging New York into perpetual night. This allows him to unleash his vampire army, wreaking havoc upon the city. Heroes like Spider-Man, Cloak & Dagger, Blade, and the Fantastic Four must unite to counter Dracula's sinister plan and save the city from his reign of terror.

Marvel comic book fans will recognize elements of Dracula's actions from the 2024 "Blood Hunt" storyline, a pivotal event in Marvel's darker narratives.

Will Dracula Be a Playable Character?

Currently, there's no official announcement confirming Dracula's inclusion as a playable character. Considering Doctor Doom's role as Season 0's antagonist without playable status, Dracula's playability remains uncertain.

However, given his central role as the Season 1 antagonist, Dracula's presence will undoubtedly shape the game's modes and maps. His prominence makes him a strong contender for future inclusion as a playable character. This guide will be updated should NetEase Games make an official announcement.
