Marvel Rivals' Midnight Features Event Hints at Blade's Arrival and Reveals Ultron's Abilities

Marvel Rivals' Season 1 Midnight Features event has unveiled official artwork of Blade, fueling speculation about his potential introduction as a playable character in Season 2. The event, accessible via the in-game Season menu, comprises five chapters with three quests each. Completing these quests rewards players with Chrono Tokens, Units, and a free Thor skin. The Chapter 3 reward is a Gallery Card depicting Blade battling Dracula, the Season 1 antagonist. This marks the first official confirmation of Blade's presence in the game, following previous data-mined discoveries. Season 1's narrative positions Dracula as having removed Blade and Doctor Strange from the battlefield.

The artwork's appearance has ignited fan theories, with many predicting Blade's debut as a playable Duelist in Season 2. Speculation suggests a potential transformation ability, similar to Magik and Hulk's ultimates, enhancing his strength, modifying attacks, and granting wall-hack capabilities.

Further fueling anticipation, leaks have revealed Ultron's complete ability kit. Predicted to be a Strategist class character offering support and healing, Ultron's arrival was initially anticipated for Season 1 but may have been delayed following the introduction of the Fantastic Four. While leaks often prove accurate, players are reminded to treat them as rumors until official confirmation. The abundance of upcoming content keeps the Marvel Rivals community optimistic about the game's future.
