Summary

• Marvel Rivals' Season 1 Midnight Features event quests are a major hit with players.
• The quests' compatibility with multiple game modes, including AI opponents, is widely appreciated.
• NetEase Games plans to release a new playable hero approximately every month and a half.

Marvel Rivals, recently nominated for a DICE award and voted PlayStation's top new game (December 2024), is celebrating a new concurrent player record on Steam alongside the launch of Season 1: Eternal Night Falls. NetEase Games is already looking ahead, revealing plans to introduce a new playable hero every month and a half. While Season 1 features the entire Fantastic Four debuting over three months (with future seasons offering less frequent content drops), fans are enthusiastic about the steady influx of new characters.

Reddit user Useful_You_8045 highlighted the positive reception of Season 1's Midnight Features event quests, praising their accessibility across Quick Play, Competitive, and AI modes. The option to play against AI is particularly beneficial for players experimenting with new heroes or tackling challenges in a less pressured environment. The rewarding nature of the quests, including a Gallery Card previewing Blade, also received positive feedback.

NetEase Games enhanced the visual presentation of event quests, adding a Midnight Features newspaper to the Events tab. Animated images bring the Daily Bugle headlines to life, further immersing players in the experience. While not all quests are immediately available (full unlock expected January 17th), completing them rewards players with a free Thor skin.

The improvements in Season 1, such as two free skins in the battle pass (instead of one), new maps, a new game mode, and balance adjustments, have resonated strongly with the community. NetEase Games' focus on player feedback and attention to detail fuels optimism for the future of this popular hero shooter.
