Marvel Rivals players are thrilled with the introduction of the Midnight Features event quests in Season 1: Eternal Night Falls. The community has been vocal about their appreciation on social media, celebrating the game's recent successes, including a DICE award nomination and a top new game ranking in PlayStation's Players' Choice for December 2024. The excitement continues as Marvel Rivals sets a new concurrent player record on Steam with the launch of the new season.
As Marvel Rivals progresses through the early stages of Season 1, NetEase Games has shared exciting plans for the future. In a recent interview, the developers announced their intention to introduce a new playable hero every month and a half. While Season 1 will feature the entire Fantastic Four within three months, future seasons are expected to include less frequent content updates. Despite this, fans are eager to see more of their beloved Marvel characters added to the game at a consistent pace.
On Reddit, user Useful_You_8045 praised the Midnight Features event quests, highlighting their versatility across various game modes such as Quick Play, Competitive, and AI matches. The ability to complete quests against AI has been particularly welcomed by players, offering a low-stakes environment to experiment with new heroes and focus on challenges. Additionally, the rewards in Season 1, including a Gallery Card featuring a first look at Blade, have been a hit among the community.
Players have also noticed the enhanced visual presentation of the event quests, which adds to their appeal within the season. The Events tab features a Midnight Features newspaper, where animated images and headlines introduce the quests, reminiscent of the Daily Bugle's paper. While not all quests are currently available, they are expected to fully unlock on January 17. Completing all the event quests will reward players with a free Thor skin in Marvel Rivals.
NetEase Games has made several improvements in Season 1 that have been well-received by the community. These include doubling the number of free skins in the battle pass from one to two, introducing new maps, adding a new game mode, and implementing balance changes to maintain fairness among the game's diverse roster of characters. With such attention to detail and responsiveness to player feedback, the future looks bright for this popular hero shooter.
