With Season 3 of Marvel Rivals not far away, players are speculating about the next characters coming to the game, with one being mentioned a lot: Blade.

The famous vampire hunter has appeared in the Rivals lore since Season 1 started, but the character is still not playable. As we wait for the next season, we have gathered everything we know about the popular antihero.

Release date

At the time of writing, the studio hasn't announced a release date for Blade in Marvel Rivals. However, the latest teaser suggests that the character could finally be added in Season 3.

After being rescued from the hands of Dracula, the vampire hunter was seen resting in the Imperial Institute of Science's spawn room on the map Birnin T'Challa.

A recent update in Season 2.5 made the character disappear from the bed, indicating that he was awake. After this, many members in the community have started speculating that this is a clear indication that the character is coming in Season 3.

This is only speculation, so we will have to wait for more concrete leaks or any official announcement.

Design

The character was first seen in the following Season 1 art, where he is getting strangled by Dracula.

However, we got a better look at Blade's design through the in-game image, as that shows the character model we will eventually see in-game once he's added.

His design is already in the files, and the RivalsLeak account on X (formerly Twitter) posted some images to give us a look at how the model will look:

Abilities

Unfortunately, nothing has been announced or teased regarding Blade's abilities in Marvel Rivals. If we were to make some predictions, we can expect the character to have some melee attacks since he is a sword user and carries one on his back.

Once we have more information about the character's abilities and his release, we will update this article to add all the information so you don't miss out on anything.
