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 Fantastic Four to the playable roster, set against the backdrop of a dark, revamped New York City map.
A prominent leaker, RivalsLeaks, has hinted at the potential development of a PvE (player versus environment) mode. The leaker claims a source played an early version of this mode, corroborated by another leaker, RivalsInfo, who reportedly found related tags in game files. However, RivalsLeaks acknowledges the possibility of cancellation or delay. Adding to the speculation, another leak suggests NetEase is also exploring a Capture the Flag game mode.
Further fueling the anticipation, RivalsLeaks reports that the villain Ultron's release has been postponed until Season 2. Despite a recent leak showcasing Ultron's abilities (a Strategist character utilizing drones for both offensive and supportive capabilities), the addition of four new characters in Season 1 seems to have pushed back his arrival.
The delay of Ultron hasn't dampened the excitement surrounding other potential additions. Given Season 1's Dracula theme and leaked details about Blade's abilities, many fans speculate that Blade's release will follow closely behind the Fantastic Four.
With the confirmed additions of Dracula and the Fantastic Four, plus the tantalizing possibility of a PvE mode, Capture the Flag, and the eventual arrival of Ultron and Blade, Marvel Rivals Season 1 promises a thrilling experience for players.
