Marvel Rivals Season 1: Dracula's Reign of Eternal Night
Marvel Rivals, boasting a vast roster of Marvel heroes and villains, introduces Dracula as the central antagonist in its first season, "Eternal Night Falls." This ancient Transylvanian vampire lord, also known as Count Vlad Dracula, aims to conquer present-day New York City.
Dracula's formidable powers include superhuman attributes – strength, speed, stamina, agility, and reflexes – alongside immortality and regeneration. His mastery extends to mind control, hypnosis, and shapeshifting, making him a truly formidable foe.
Season 1's Story: A City Under Siege
In "Eternal Night Falls," Dracula leverages the power of Chronovium to manipulate the moon's orbit, plunging New York City into perpetual darkness. His goal? To establish his "Empire of Eternal Night," unleashing a vampire army to dominate the city. Iconic heroes like Spider-Man, Cloak & Dagger, Blade, and the Fantastic Four must unite to thwart Dracula's sinister plan and save the city from this crimson apocalypse.
Marvel Comic Book Connection
Fans familiar with Marvel comics will recognize Dracula's actions as echoing the events of the 2024 "Blood Hunt" storyline, one of Marvel's most blood-soaked events. This storyline sees Dracula capitalizing on a sunless world to expand his vampiric empire.
Will Dracula Become Playable?
Currently, there's no official confirmation of Dracula's inclusion as a playable character in Marvel Rivals. Considering Doctor Doom's role as Season 0's antagonist without becoming playable, Dracula's playability remains uncertain.
However, given his central role in Season 1's narrative, Dracula's influence will undoubtedly shape the season's game modes and maps. His prominence makes him a strong contender for future inclusion as a playable character. We will update this information should NetEase Games make an official announcement.
