Season 3.5 is approaching fast for Marvel Rivals players, and that means more content will be added soon to the game, including the new hero Blade. The vampire hunter has been teased since the first post-launch season, making several appearances in the game's lore.
After being abducted by Dracula, rescued, and recovered, the antihero is finally ready to join the fray. Before he arrives, we have gathered all the important details about the character so you can prepare accordingly.
When does Blade come out in Marvel Rivals?
Blade is scheduled to come out on Friday, August 8th, when Season 3.5 of Marvel Rivals kicks off.
The Season 3.5 update should release at around 2:00 AM PT (10:00 AM BST). If a maintenance period is announced, players will have to wait two or three hours after said time to enjoy the new content.
Trailer
Here is the gameplay trailer for Blade, which gives us a look at all of his abilities:
Abilities
As you can see in the trailer, Blade will be part of the Duelists heroes, and his abilities will revolve around his pistol and sword. His sword will be able to block attacks and also perform melee attacks on enemies.
On the other hand, Blade can use his pistol to shoot enemies from afar, giving him options and not limiting him to a melee-focused character. The character will also have a forward dash that can make him airborne.
For his ultimate, the character will perform a straight dash and leave a trail of blade swings in his path, causing damage to anything that he goes through.
Blade's skins
Apart from his default skin, Blade also has another one available at launch. It looks like this costume is infused with Phoenix flames, but we don’t know much about it yet since we’ve only seen a single image.
