Marvel Rivals Season 1: Dracula's Reign of Eternal Night
Marvel Rivals boasts a vast roster of Marvel characters, and Season 1: Eternal Night Falls introduces Dracula as the primary antagonist. Teaming up with Doctor Doom, Dracula manipulates the moon's orbit, plunging New York City into chaos. This guide delves into Dracula's role and influence within the game's lore.
Who is Marvel Rivals' Dracula?
Count Vlad Dracula, the iconic Transylvanian vampire lord, serves as the main villain in Season 1. His goal? To conquer present-day New York City and establish his Empire of Eternal Night.
Dracula possesses formidable abilities: superhuman strength, speed, stamina, agility, reflexes, immortality, and regeneration. He also wields mind control, hypnosis, and shapeshifting, making him a formidable opponent.
Dracula's Role in Season 1
In Season 1, Dracula uses Chronovium to disrupt the moon's orbit, plunging the city into darkness. This allows him to unleash his vampire army and establish his reign of terror. Heroes such as Spider-Man, Cloak & Dagger, Blade, and the Fantastic Four must unite to thwart his plans.
Marvel comic book fans will recognize elements of the 2024 "Blood Hunt" storyline, known for its intense vampire-centric conflict, influencing Dracula's actions in the game.
Will Dracula Be a Playable Character?
Currently, there's no official confirmation on whether Dracula will be a playable character. Considering Doctor Doom's villainous role in Season 0 without becoming playable, Dracula's playability remains uncertain.
However, his central role in Season 1 strongly suggests he'll significantly impact gameplay, potentially influencing maps and game modes. His importance makes him a likely candidate for future inclusion as a playable character. This guide will be updated should NetEase Games make an official announcement.
