Marvel Rivals Season 1: Dracula, Fantastic Four, and Hints of PvE
A data miner suggests Marvel Rivals is developing a PvE mode, alongside other exciting updates. Recent leaks indicate that the highly anticipated villain, Ultron, has been pushed back to Season 2. Season 1, however, promises a thrilling start with Dracula as the main antagonist and the arrival of the Fantastic Four.
NetEase Games continues to bolster Marvel Rivals' content since its launch. As Season 0 and the Winter Celebration event conclude, anticipation builds for Season 1's launch. The recently released trailer showcases Dracula and the Fantastic Four, hinting at a new, darker version of New York City as a potential map. Season 1: Eternal Night Falls begins January 10th at 1 AM PST.
Reliable Marvel Rivals leaker, RivalsLeaks, tweeted about a potential PvE mode, citing a source who reportedly played an early version. Another leaker, RivalsInfo, supposedly found related code within the game files. While promising for players seeking non-PvP options, RivalsLeaks acknowledges the possibility of cancellation or delay. Further fueling speculation about NetEase's ambitious expansion plans, another leak suggests a Capture the Flag mode is also in development.
A PvE Mode on the Horizon?
The same leaker also claims Ultron's release has been delayed until Season 2. Despite a recent leak detailing Ultron's abilities (a Strategist capable of drone-based healing and attacks), his inclusion in Season 1 seems unlikely, given the addition of four new characters.
While some fans express disappointment over Ultron's delayed arrival, others anticipate the debut of Blade. Given Season 1's Dracula theme and leaked information about Blade's abilities, many believe his release will follow closely after the Fantastic Four. With confirmed details and numerous ongoing leaks, excitement for Season 1: Eternal Night Falls is at an all-time high.
