Summary
- Season 1's Midnight Features event quests in Marvel Rivals have been overwhelmingly well-received.
- These quests offer flexibility, allowing completion across multiple game modes, including AI-controlled matches. This feature has been particularly appreciated by players seeking a less pressured environment to learn new heroes or focus on specific challenges.
- NetEase Games plans to introduce a new playable hero to Marvel Rivals every six weeks.
Marvel Rivals players are celebrating the success of Season 1: Eternal Night Falls, particularly praising the Midnight Features event quests. Following recent accolades—a DICE Award nomination and PlayStation's Players' Choice award for top new game in December 2024—and a new concurrent player record on Steam, the game continues to build momentum.
While Season 1 is still in its early stages, NetEase Games has already revealed future plans: a new playable hero every month and a half. Although future seasons will feature less content than the expansive Season 1, which introduces the entire Fantastic Four over three months, the consistent addition of new heroes has generated considerable excitement.
Reddit user Useful_You_8045 highlighted the positive reception to the Midnight Features event quests, emphasizing their accessibility across Quick Play, Competitive, and AI modes. The option to play against AI has been a significant benefit, enabling players to experiment with new heroes and challenges without competitive pressure. The rewarding nature of Season 1, exemplified by the Gallery Card offering an early glimpse of Blade, has also contributed to the positive feedback.
Marvel Rivals’ Midnight Features Event Quests Are a Hit With Fans
NetEase Games has enhanced the visual presentation of the event quests, further increasing their appeal. The in-game Events tab features an animated Midnight Features newspaper, bringing the challenges to life with dynamic headlines and images. While not all quests are currently available (full unlock expected January 17th), completion promises a free Thor skin.
The positive response extends beyond the quests. Players appreciate the enhanced battle pass, offering two free skins instead of one, the addition of new maps and a game mode, and the implemented balance changes. This commitment to community feedback and attention to detail fuels optimism for the future of Marvel Rivals.
