Marvel Unveils Dracula's Sinister Origins in "Rivals" Season 1

Marvel Rivals Season 1: Dracula's Reign of Eternal Night

Marvel Rivals, drawing from the vast Marvel universe, introduces a diverse cast of heroes and villains. Season 1: Eternal Night Falls spotlights Dracula as its primary antagonist. This Transylvanian nobleman-turned-vampire lord, alongside Doctor Doom, manipulates the moon's orbit, plunging present-day New York City into chaos.

Who is Marvel Rivals' Dracula?

Count Vlad Dracula, the season's central villain, aims to conquer New York. His formidable powers include superhuman attributes (strength, speed, stamina, agility, reflexes), immortality, regeneration, and abilities like mind control and shapeshifting, making him a formidable opponent.

Dracula's Role in Season 1

In Season 1, Dracula utilizes Chronovium to alter the moon's orbit, creating his "Empire of Eternal Night." This plunges New York into darkness, unleashing a vampire army. Heroes like Spider-Man, Cloak & Dagger, Blade, and the Fantastic Four must unite to thwart Dracula's plans. This storyline mirrors Marvel's "Blood Hunt" (2024) comic event, known for its intense vampire-centric narrative.

Will Dracula Be a Playable Character?

Currently, there's no official announcement confirming Dracula's playable status. Considering Doctor Doom's villainous role in Season 0 without becoming playable, Dracula's playability remains uncertain. However, his central role in Season 1 suggests he may significantly impact gameplay through maps and modes, potentially paving the way for future inclusion as a playable character. This guide will be updated with any official announcements regarding his addition to NetEase Games' hero shooter.
