Marvel Rivals Season 1: Dracula's Reign of Terror
Marvel Rivals' diverse roster of heroes and villains expands in Season 1: Eternal Night Falls, with Dracula taking center stage as the primary antagonist. Teaming up with Doctor Doom, Dracula manipulates the moon's orbit, plunging a present-day New York City into chaos. This guide details Dracula's role and influence within the game's lore.
Who is Marvel Rivals' Dracula?
Count Vlad Dracula, the iconic Transylvanian vampire lord, is the main villain of Season 1. His goal? To conquer a modern-day New York City and establish his "Empire of Eternal Night."
Dracula possesses a formidable arsenal of abilities: superhuman strength, speed, agility, reflexes, and immortality. His regenerative powers and skills in mind control, hypnosis, and shapeshifting make him a truly formidable foe.
Dracula's Role in Season 1: Eternal Night Falls
Using the power of Chronovium, Dracula throws the moon's orbit into disarray, plunging New York into darkness. This sets the stage for his vampire army to unleash havoc. Familiar faces like Spider-Man, Cloak & Dagger, Blade, and the Fantastic Four must unite to thwart Dracula's plans and save the city from this "Eternal Night."
Marvel comic book fans will recognize this storyline's echoes in the 2024 "Blood Hunt" event, a particularly brutal chapter in Marvel's history where Dracula capitalized on a sunless world to expand his dominion.
Will Dracula Be a Playable Character?
Currently, there's no official word on whether Dracula will be playable. Considering Doctor Doom's role as Season 0's antagonist and subsequent absence as a playable character, Dracula's playability remains uncertain.
However, given his central role in Season 1's narrative, his presence will undoubtedly shape the season's game modes and maps. His importance as a key character strongly suggests future inclusion as a playable character. We will update this guide with any official announcements from NetEase Games regarding Dracula's potential addition to the hero shooter.
