Marvel Rivals: Dracula's Reign of Terror in Season 1: Eternal Night Falls

Marvel Rivals, drawing from the vast Marvel universe, introduces a compelling roster of heroes and villains. Season 1: Eternal Night Falls spotlights Dracula as the primary antagonist. This season plunges New York City into chaos as Dracula, allied with Doctor Doom, manipulates the moon's orbit. This guide delves into Dracula's role and influence within the game's narrative.

Who is Marvel Rivals' Dracula?

Count Vlad Dracula, the iconic Transylvanian vampire lord, serves as the central villain of Season 1. His ambition: to conquer present-day New York City.

Dracula possesses formidable abilities: superhuman strength, speed, stamina, agility, and reflexes. His immortality and regenerative powers make him a formidable opponent. He also wields mind control, hypnosis, and shapeshifting, enhancing his strategic capabilities.

Dracula's Role in Season 1: Eternal Night Falls

In Season 1, Dracula leverages the power of Chronovium to disrupt the moon's orbit, plunging the city into his "Empire of Eternal Night." This event unleashes a vampire army, creating widespread havoc. Heroes such as Spider-Man, Cloak & Dagger, Blade, and the Fantastic Four unite to counter Dracula's forces and save the city.

Marvel comic book fans will recognize this storyline's echoes in the 2024 "Blood Hunt" event, a famously intense narrative where Dracula exploits the absence of sunlight to expand his dominion.

Will Dracula Be a Playable Character?

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

However, given his crucial role as the Season 1 antagonist, Dracula will likely significantly impact the season's game modes and maps. His prominence suggests future potential as a playable character. This guide will be updated should NetEase Games make an official announcement.
