Marvel Rivals' Season 1: Eternal Night Falls is off to a strong start, exceeding expectations and delighting players. The recent addition of Midnight Features event quests has been particularly well-received.
The quests' versatility, allowing completion across Quick Play, Competitive, and AI modes, has been a major point of praise. The option to play against AI offers a less pressured environment for experimenting with new heroes and tackling challenges. Reddit users have highlighted this feature as a significant improvement, alongside the enhanced rewards, such as the early reveal of Blade via a Gallery Card.
Beyond the quests, the visual presentation has also seen upgrades. An animated newspaper showcasing the quests in the Events tab adds a visually engaging layer to the experience. While not all quests are currently active (full unlock expected January 17th), the anticipation is high, especially with the promise of a free Thor skin as a reward for completion.
NetEase Games' commitment to player feedback is evident. Season 1 boasts improvements such as two free skins in the battle pass (instead of one), new maps, a fresh game mode, and balance adjustments. The developer's dedication to regular content updates, including a new playable hero every month and a half (with the Fantastic Four debuting in Season 1), further fuels player enthusiasm. This consistent release schedule, even with a planned reduction in content for future seasons, ensures a steady stream of fresh experiences. The game's recent DICE Award nomination, PlayStation's Players' Choice award, and record-breaking concurrent player count on Steam underscore its current success. The positive player response to Season 1 suggests a bright future for Marvel Rivals.
