Marvel Rivals Season 1: Dracula, Fantastic Four, and Hints of PvE

Recent leaks suggest exciting developments for Marvel Rivals, NetEase Games' hero shooter. Season 1, "Eternal Night Falls," launching January 10th at 1 AM PST, promises a significant content update. The season will introduce Dracula as the primary antagonist and add the iconic Fantastic Four to the playable roster. A dark, alternate version of New York City is also rumored to be a new map.

A prominent leaker, RivalsLeaks, has hinted at the potential development of a PvE (Player vs. Environment) mode. Their source allegedly played an early version of this mode, and corroborating evidence—a file tag—was reportedly found by another leaker, RivalsInfo. However, RivalsLeaks acknowledges the possibility of cancellation or postponement.

Adding to the speculation, another leak suggests NetEase Games is exploring a Capture the Flag game mode. These leaks collectively paint a picture of ambitious expansion for Marvel Rivals.

Ultron's Delayed Arrival:

The same leaker also claims that the highly anticipated villain, Ultron, has been delayed until Season 2. While a full ability kit leak previously fueled expectations for his imminent release (revealing him as a Strategist utilizing drones for both offensive and supportive capabilities), the addition of four new characters in Season 1 seemingly necessitates a postponement.

Speculation on Blade's Debut:

With Dracula as Season 1's villain and leaked information regarding Blade's abilities, many fans believe his arrival is likely soon after the Fantastic Four's introduction.

The abundance of confirmed and leaked information has generated considerable excitement among Marvel Rivals players, creating high anticipation for Season 1: Eternal Night Falls.
