The wait is over, and Blade is finally being added to Marvel Rivals. The character has appeared in the game's lore for quite some time now, but he is now ready to join the growing roster of playable characters.

Now that we have a release date, here is everything you need to know about Blade's arrival so you can prepare and try him once he's available.

When is Blade coming out in Marvel Rivals?

Blade is scheduled to be added to Marvel Rivals on Friday, August 8th, once Season 3.5 kicks off.

The update should be available to download at 2:00 AM PT (10:00 AM BST). If a maintenance period gets announced, players will have to wait two or three hours after said date to enjoy the new content.

What is Blade's role in Marvel Rivals?

As expected, Blade will join the group of Duelist characters, becoming the 22nd hero in the role. This means that Season 3 will introduce two Duelists in total, since Phoenix was added at the start of the season.

What skins will Blade have in Season 3.5?

Blade will have a Phoenix-themed skin when Season 3.5 goes live. His default outfit will likely remain the same as the one he wore during Season 2, while this new alternative costume offers a fresh new look.
