Marvel's Rival: Dracula Set for Season 1 Debut

Marvel Rivals Season 1: Dracula's Reign of Terror

Marvel Rivals, boasting a vast roster of Marvel heroes and villains, plunges into the dark heart of Transylvania in Season 1: Eternal Night Falls. This season centers on the infamous Dracula, who, alongside Doctor Doom, orchestrates a moon-orbit disruption, plunging New York City into chaos. Let's delve into Dracula's sinister role in this thrilling chapter of Marvel Rivals lore.

Who is Marvel Rivals' Dracula?

Count Vlad Dracula, the ancient vampire lord, serves as the primary antagonist of Season 1. This Transylvanian nobleman seeks to conquer present-day New York City, leveraging his formidable powers.

Dracula's abilities are legendary: superhuman strength, speed, agility, and reflexes, coupled with immortality and regeneration. His mastery extends to mind control, hypnosis, and shapeshifting, making him a truly formidable opponent.

Dracula's Season 1 Scheme: Eternal Night Falls

In Season 1, Dracula harnesses the power of Chronovium to manipulate the moon's orbit, plunging New York into an "Empire of Eternal Night." This darkness allows him to unleash a vampire army, wreaking havoc upon the city. Iconic heroes like Spider-Man, Cloak & Dagger, Blade, and the Fantastic Four unite to thwart Dracula's plan and save the city from this blood-soaked invasion.

Marvel comic book fans will recognize this storyline's echoes in the 2024 "Blood Hunt" event, one of Marvel's most infamous "bloody" storylines, where Dracula's power flourishes under the cover of perpetual night.

Will Dracula Become a Playable Character?

Currently, there's no official announcement confirming Dracula's playable status in Marvel Rivals. Considering Doctor Doom's role as Season 0's antagonist without becoming a playable character, Dracula's playability remains uncertain.

However, given his central role as Season 1's main villain, Dracula's influence will undoubtedly shape the season's game modes and maps. His prominence strongly suggests the possibility of future inclusion as a playable character. This guide will be updated should NetEase Games make an official announcement.
