Marvel Rivals Season 1: Dracula's Reign of Terror

Marvel Rivals, drawing from Marvel's extensive universe, introduces a diverse cast of heroes and villains. Season 1: Eternal Night Falls spotlights Dracula as the primary antagonist.

This season plunges New York City into chaos as Dracula, in league with Doctor Doom, manipulates the moon's orbit. This guide delves into Dracula's role and sinister influence within the game's narrative.

Who is Marvel Rivals' Dracula?

Count Vlad Dracula, the iconic Transylvanian vampire lord, serves as the main villain in Season 1. His goal: conquer present-day New York City.

Dracula possesses formidable abilities: superhuman strength, speed, stamina, agility, and reflexes. His immortality and regenerative powers make him a formidable opponent. Furthermore, he wields mind control, hypnosis, and shapeshifting, adding layers of strategic complexity.

Dracula's Role in Season 1: Eternal Night Falls

In Season 1, Dracula harnesses the power of Chronovium to disrupt the moon's orbit, plunging the city into his "Empire of Eternal Night." He unleashes a vampire army to wreak havoc, prompting heroes like Spider-Man, Cloak & Dagger, Blade, and the Fantastic Four to unite against him.

Marvel comic book fans will recognize elements of the 2024 "Blood Hunt" storyline, a pivotal event where Dracula capitalizes on a sunless world to expand his dominion.

Will Dracula Be a Playable Character?

Currently, there's no official confirmation of Dracula's inclusion as a playable character. Considering Doctor Doom's absence as a playable character despite his Season 0 villain role, Dracula's playability remains uncertain.

However, given his central role as the Season 1 antagonist, his presence will undoubtedly impact gameplay modes and maps. His prominence makes future inclusion as a playable character a strong possibility. This guide will be updated with any official announcements regarding his addition to NetEase Games' hero shooter.
