Marvel Rivals Season 1: Eternal Night Falls – A Deep Dive into the Darkhold Battle Pass
Get ready for the chilling debut of Marvel Rivals Season 1, "Eternal Night Falls," launching January 10th at 1 AM PST! This season plunges players into a gothic nightmare orchestrated by Dracula, with Doctor Doom taking a temporary backseat. The Fantastic Four lead the charge against Dracula's forces after Doctor Strange falls victim to a cunning trap.
The Darkhold Battle Pass, priced at 990 Lattice (approximately $10), offers a wealth of rewards. Complete the pass to earn 600 Lattice and 600 Units, usable for future cosmetic purchases or battle passes. Ten exclusive skins headline the rewards, complemented by sprays, nameplates, emotes, and MVP animations. A significant advantage: the pass doesn't expire, allowing completion at your own pace.
A Sneak Peek at the Season 1 Skins:
NetEase Games has unveiled a captivating preview of the Season 1 battle pass skins. The lineup boasts a striking array of character redesigns, each reflecting the season's dark aesthetic:
- Loki: All-Butcher
- Moon Knight: Blood Moon Knight
- Rocket Raccoon: Bounty Hunter
- Peni Parker: Blue Tarantula
- Magneto: King Magnus (House of M inspired)
- Namor: Savage Sub-Mariner
- Iron Man: Blood Edge Armor (Dark Souls-esque)
- Adam Warlock: Blood Soul
- Scarlet Witch: Emporium Matron
- Wolverine: Blood Berserker (Van Helsing inspired)
The Dark and Gloomy Aesthetic:
The season's dark and brooding atmosphere is palpable. From the blood moon casting its ominous glow over New York City to the character skins themselves – Wolverine's Van Helsing-inspired attire and Loki's sinister All-Butcher look – the theme is consistently maintained. Even Scarlet Witch and Adam Warlock receive dark reinterpretations of their classic costumes.
The Fantastic Four's Absence:
While the battle pass is generating considerable excitement, the absence of skins for the newly introduced Fantastic Four (Invisible Woman and Mister Fantastic) has surprised some. Cosmetics for these heroes will be available through the in-game shop.
Looking Ahead:
With a compelling battle pass, new maps, and the introduction of the Fantastic Four, Marvel Rivals Season 1 promises an exciting and immersive experience. The community eagerly anticipates what NetEase Games has in store for future seasons.
