Leaks for Marvel Rivals continue to pour out, as legendary vampire hunter Blade has been unofficially revealed ahead of time. Considering how the character’s MCU debut is stuck in Hollywood limbo, his upcoming debut in the game should make fans happy. The current game already has many unique characters and Blade fits that bill perfectly.
Blade has been a fan-favorite character since his movie came out, with viewers immediately enjoying the vampire hunter’s antics. Although his comic books never received the same love, Blade’s legacy as a Marvel icon is cemented in history. With his debut in Rivals looming, here’s everything we know about the Daywalker.
Release date
MarvelRivalLeak claims that Blade will come to the game sometime in Season 2. Apparently, the character will release day one when this update comes out, so fans have a few months to wait for the Daywalker. It will be interesting to see how this character plays and if he becomes an immediate fan-favorite in Marvel Rivals.
Fans should take the news with a grain of salt since the leaker claims this is just based on development data. Leakers assumed that Ultron was going to be ready by Season 1, but this ended up being false. Blade has already been mentioned in the story, captured by the new villain Dracula, so his day will come.
Gameplay
Although nothing about Blade’s gameplay in Marvel Rivals has been confirmed, the character will likely excel at close-range combat. We’ve also seen Blade use guns in the past, so other long-range characters won’t completely outflank him. Beyond that, we could see his vampire abilities put to good use.
Fans will have to wait for more details on how Blade will play. Hopefully, the wait won’t be too long for this character since Blade is pretty beloved by fans. Blade also hasn’t appeared in too many video games so this is another exceptional addition to the shooter.
That’s everything we know about Blade in Marvel Rivals. Fans can also read more about the Mr. Fantastic, who is now in the game, and the Human Torch.
