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 horror-themed experience dominated by Dracula, with a surprising shift away from Doctor Doom's usual villainy. The Fantastic Four take center stage as they confront Dracula's sinister plot after Doctor Strange falls victim to a cunning trap.
The Darkhold Battle Pass awaits, offering a wealth of exclusive rewards for 990 Lattice (approximately $10). Complete the pass to earn 600 Lattice and 600 Units, usable for future cosmetic purchases or battle passes. Ten stunning skins headline the rewards, complemented by a selection of sprays, nameplates, emotes, and MVP animations. Don't worry about deadlines; unfinished passes remain accessible even after the season concludes.
A Sneak Peek at the Season 1 Skins:
The battle pass showcases a captivating array of character skins, 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 inspired)
- Adam Warlock: Blood Soul
- Scarlet Witch: Emporium Matron
- Wolverine: Blood Berserker (Van Helsing inspired)
The overall design leans heavily into a dark and brooding atmosphere. The blood moon casting its ominous shadow over New York City sets the tone perfectly. Wolverine's vampire hunter-esque design, Loki's sinister All-Butcher attire, and Moon Knight's stark black and white costume are prime examples of this aesthetic. Even Scarlet Witch and Adam Warlock receive darkly stylized makeovers.
While the battle pass is generating considerable excitement, the absence of Fantastic Four skins has surprised some fans. While Invisible Woman and Mister Fantastic debut in Season 1, their cosmetic options will be available separately in the in-game shop. With a plethora of content on the horizon, anticipation is high for what NetEase Games has planned next for Marvel Rivals.
