Leaks Suggest Blade Will Join Marvel Rivals in Season 2 After Being Rescued by the Fantastic Four

When Eternal Night Falls was first announced as Season 1 of Marvel Rivals, players were thrilled to learn that Dracula and Doctor Doom would serve as the season's main villains. Naturally, many expected Blade to be the next hero revealed. However, the Fantastic Four were later confirmed as the new heroes joining the roster for this season. Despite this, recent leaks suggest that hope for Blade's arrival isn’t lost just yet.

Dataminer Miller Ross uncovered intriguing details after streamers and influencers received early access to Season 1. Ross discovered a gallery card and lore entry revealing that Dracula had taken drastic measures to neutralize Blade as part of his master plan. The lore states: "In the lead-up to Marvel Rivals: Eternal Night Falls, Dracula subdues the two greatest threats to his Empire of Eternal Night - Blade and Ratatoskr."

This revelation implies that Blade has been canonically sidelined by the enemy faction, while the Fantastic Four step in to thwart Dracula’s plans and rescue the captured heroes, including Blade. Many fans now speculate that Blade will make his debut in Season 2, narratively returning to the roster after being freed by the Fantastic Four to face the next major villain.

The community has responded positively to this theory, with many praising the storytelling integration. One fan noted, "Blade will 100% be coming in Season 2. The Fantastic Four will save him at the end of the season or something.” Another added, "I love that they basically give us a story reason for Blade’s absence in Season 1 so they can release him in Season 2, saying ‘the Fantastic Four freed him.’"

While there’s still no official confirmation on Blade’s arrival, it’s becoming increasingly likely that he’s next in line to join the game’s roster. Even if his debut is delayed, the fact that Blade is in the lore makes his eventual inclusion inevitable. For now, all we can do is stay tuned to the community buzz, and we’ll be sure to keep our readers updated on Blade’s arrival in Marvel Rivals.
