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 narrative.

Who is Marvel Rivals' Dracula?

Count Vlad Dracula, the iconic Transylvanian vampire, 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. His arsenal also includes mind control, hypnosis, and shapeshifting, making him a formidable opponent.

Dracula's Role in Season 1: Eternal Night Falls

In Season 1, Dracula utilizes Chronovium to manipulate the moon, plunging the city into darkness. This sets the stage for his vampire army to unleash havoc. Heroes like Spider-Man, Cloak & Dagger, Blade, and the Fantastic Four must unite to thwart Dracula's plans and save the city from his reign of terror. This storyline draws inspiration from Marvel's 2024 "Blood Hunt" event, known for its intense, vampire-centric narrative.

Will Dracula Be a Playable Character?

Currently, there's no official announcement confirming Dracula's inclusion as a playable character. Considering Doctor Doom's role as Season 0's antagonist without becoming playable, Dracula's playability remains uncertain. However, given his central role in Season 1's storyline, his presence will undoubtedly impact game modes and maps. Future updates will be added should NetEase Games announce Dracula's inclusion as a playable hero.
