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, offers rewards including Chrono Tokens, Units, and a free Thor skin across five chapters of three quests each. Completion of Chapter 3 reveals gallery art depicting Blade facing Dracula, the Season 1 antagonist. This marks the first official confirmation of Blade's existence within the game, following earlier data-mined discoveries. Season 1's narrative positions Dracula as having removed Blade and Doctor Strange from the conflict.

The Blade artwork strongly suggests a playable role in Season 2, with fan theories proposing a Duelist class, potentially incorporating a transformation ability similar to Magik and Hulk's ultimates, enhancing strength, modifying attacks, and granting wall-hack vision.

Further fueling anticipation, a leak revealed Ultron's complete ability set during Season 0. Speculated to be a Strategist class offering support and healing, Ultron's introduction, initially anticipated for Season 1, appears delayed due to the arrival of the Fantastic Four. 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.
