The reward for completing Chapter 3 of the game’s Midnight Features quests is a Gallery Card featuring Season 1’s antagonist Dracula fighting the hero Blade.

Marvel Rivals Reveals Official Artwork of Blade in Season 1

With the appearance of Blade in the game’s artwork, many fans suspect he could make his debut as a playable character in Season 2. Some players believe Season 1 will end with The Fantastic Four defeating Dracula in an effort to save New York City, Blade, and Doctor Strange. Gamers have been discussing which role might suit the popular vampire hunter best, with many agreeing that he could be a strong Duelist. According to leakers, Blade will have a transformation in Marvel Rivals, which may work similarly to the ultimate abilities of Magik and Hulk. The power boost would supposedly enhance his strength, alter his attacks, and give him the ability to see enemies through walls.

Blade isn’t the only character rumored to be coming to the game soon, as Ultron’s full ability kit in Marvel Rivals was leaked during Season 0. It’s expected that the villain may be a Strategist, meaning he could be able to provide healing and support to allies on the battlefield. Leakers believed Ultron might make his debut in Season 1, but it appears NetEase Games has changed its plans with the release of The Fantastic Four. While many leaks do come true, some never come to fruition. Fans should always treat leaks as rumors until officially confirmed. With so much content on the way, many players are feeling hopeful about the future of Marvel Rivals.
