The Midnight Features quests appear in the Season section of Marvel Rivals' menu, structured across five chapters with three challenges each. Successful completion grants players Chrono Tokens, Units, and Thor's free cosmetic skin. While some challenges remain time-locked, all chapters will become available by January 17.
Chapter 3's completion reward features a Gallery Card showcasing Dracula battling Blade - NetEase Games' first official confirmation of Blade's presence in the game. Season 1's narrative explains Dracula removed Blade and Doctor Strange from combat, considering them major threats to his schemes.
Blade's Official Artwork Debuts in Marvel Rivals Season 1
Blade's appearance in official artwork fuels speculation about his Season 2 playable debut. Many anticipate Season 1 will conclude with The Fantastic Four rescuing New York City, Blade, and Doctor Strange from Dracula. Community discussions suggest Blade would excel as a Duelist, with leaks hinting at transformation abilities similar to Magik and Hulk's ultimates - potentially granting enhanced strength, modified attacks, and wall-penetrating vision.
Ultron also emerges as a likely upcoming addition, with his complete ability kit leaked during Season 0. The villain may fill the Strategist role, providing battlefield support and healing. While initially expected in Season 1, Ultron's release appears delayed following The Fantastic Four's introduction. As with all leaks, players should await official confirmation, though Marvel Rivals' expanding content continues generating excitement.
