Marvel Rivals Reveals First Official Look at Blade

Marvel Rivals' Midnight Features event unveils official Blade artwork, fueling speculation about his Season 2 arrival as a playable character. The event, accessible via the in-game Season menu, features five chapters of quests rewarding players with Chrono Tokens, Units, and a free Thor skin. Chapter 3 specifically showcases Blade battling Dracula, the Season 1 antagonist, on a Gallery Card, marking the first official confirmation of Blade's existence within the game, previously only hinted at through data mining.

The inclusion of Blade's artwork strongly suggests his potential debut as a playable character in Season 2. Fan theories anticipate a Season 1 finale where the Fantastic Four defeat Dracula, rescuing Blade and Doctor Strange. Many believe Blade's role would best suit a Duelist class, potentially featuring a transformation ability similar to Magik and Hulk's ultimates, enhancing strength, modifying attacks, and granting wall-hack capabilities.

Further fueling anticipation, leaks have revealed Ultron's complete ability set, suggesting a Strategist role with support and healing capabilities. While initially speculated for a Season 1 release, his introduction may be delayed following the Fantastic Four's arrival. While leaks often prove accurate, their reliability remains uncertain until official confirmation. The abundance of upcoming content keeps Marvel Rivals players optimistic about the game's future.
