Marvel Rivals Season 1: Dracula, Fantastic Four, and Hints of PvE
A recent leak suggests exciting developments for Marvel Rivals, including a potential PvE mode and a shift in villain release schedules. Season 1, launching January 10th at 1 AM PST, will feature Dracula as the primary antagonist and introduce the Fantastic Four to the playable roster. A new, darker version of New York City is also anticipated as a new map.
A prominent leaker, RivalsLeaks, claims a PvE mode is under development, citing a source who reportedly played an early version. Further evidence allegedly comes from RivalsInfo, who discovered a related tag in game files. However, RivalsLeaks acknowledges the possibility of cancellation or delay. Adding to the speculation, another leaker hints at a potential Capture the Flag mode in the works, suggesting NetEase Games is actively expanding the game's features.
Initially anticipated for Season 1, the villain Ultron has reportedly been pushed back to Season 2 or later. This delay follows a recent leak revealing Ultron's abilities as a Strategist character who utilizes drones for both offensive and supportive functions. The inclusion of four new characters in Season 1 is cited as the likely reason for the postponement.
The delay of Ultron hasn't dampened excitement, with many players now speculating about the arrival of Blade. Given Season 1's Dracula theme and leaked information regarding Blade's abilities, his introduction soon after the Fantastic Four is considered highly probable.
With the confirmed details and ongoing leaks, anticipation for Season 1: Eternal Night Falls is at a fever pitch.
