Get ready for the chilling debut of Marvel Rivals Season 1, "Eternal Night Falls," launching January 10th at 1 AM PST! This season plunges players into a gothic horror-inspired world dominated by Dracula, with a stellar battle pass brimming with exclusive rewards.
The Darkhold battle pass, priced at 990 Lattice (approximately $10), offers a treasure trove of cosmetic goodies. Complete the pass to earn 600 Lattice and 600 Units, usable for future purchases. Ten stunning skins headline the rewards, alongside a collection of sprays, nameplates, emotes, and MVP animations. Don't worry about finishing before the season ends; passes don't expire!
A Sneak Peek at the Season 1 Skins:
The battle pass showcases a diverse range of character skins, each reflecting the season's dark theme:
- Loki: All-Butcher
- Moon Knight: Blood Moon Knight
- Rocket Raccoon: Bounty Hunter
- Peni Parker: Blue Tarantula
- Magneto: King Magnus (House of M inspired)
- Namor: Savage Sub-Mariner
- Iron Man: Blood Edge Armor (Dark Souls-esque)
- Adam Warlock: Blood Soul
- Scarlet Witch: Emporium Matron
- Wolverine: Blood Berserker (Van Helsing inspired)
The overall aesthetic is undeniably dark and atmospheric. A blood moon casts its ominous glow over a revamped New York City, setting the stage for thrilling battles. Even the character designs lean into the gothic theme, with dark color palettes and sinister details. Loki's All-Butcher skin, for example, is a masterclass in menacing style.
While the battle pass is packed with exciting content, some fans expressed surprise at the absence of skins for the newly introduced Fantastic Four. Invisible Woman and Mister Fantastic debut in Season 1, but their cosmetic options will be available separately in the in-game shop.
Despite this minor detail, the anticipation for Season 1 is palpable. The combination of a compelling storyline, impressive new skins, and the promise of more to come from NetEase Games has many players eagerly awaiting the launch.
