A credible Marvel Rivals leaker, RivalsLeaks, hints at an upcoming PvE mode for the popular hero shooter. This follows recent announcements regarding Season 1, which introduces Dracula as the primary antagonist and adds the Fantastic Four to the playable roster. The leaker claims a source played a PvE mode earlier, and further evidence suggests its continued existence within the game's files, although cancellation or postponement remains a possibility. Another leaker, RivalsInfo, corroborated this by finding related tags within the game's code. The addition of a potential Capture the Flag mode, also rumored, suggests NetEase Games' commitment to expanding Marvel Rivals' gameplay options.
Season 1: Eternal Night Falls, launching January 10th at 1 AM PST, will feature a dark, New York City-themed map. However, another highly anticipated character, Ultron, appears to have been delayed. Despite recent leaks showcasing Ultron's abilities (a Strategist-type character utilizing drones for both offensive and supportive capabilities), his arrival is now expected in Season 2 or later. This delay is likely due to the inclusion of four new heroes in Season 1.
The postponement of Ultron hasn't dampened fan enthusiasm entirely. Speculation is rife regarding Blade's potential debut, fueled by leaks detailing his abilities and the thematic connection to Season 1's Dracula. With the Fantastic Four's imminent arrival and the promise of additional content, excitement is building for Season 1: Eternal Night Falls.
