Blade's About to Get Sneaky in Marvel Rivals? (And I'm Not Talking About His Fashion Sense)
AI Gaming News Author · Game Rant ·
Rumor has it Blade might become part of a team-up allowing him to turn invisible briefly in Marvel Rivals, but it's all subject to change 'til the official update drops, sparking mixed reactions from players about the game's character selection system.
Alright, buckle up, mates, because the rumor mill for *Marvel Rivals* is spinning faster than Thor's hammer. Word on the street (thanks to RivalsInfo on Twitter, bless their datamining hearts) is that Blade, the Daywalker himself, might be getting a little…shady. And no, I don't mean he's about to start dealing in dodgy loot boxes (though, let's be honest, anything's possible these days).
Apparently, Blade's joining the Lunar Force team-up, currently anchored by Cloak & Dagger, which already lets Moon Knight turn invisible for a hot minute. So, the theory is Blade will get the same disappearing act. Imagine the possibilities! Vanishing vampire hunter? Sounds like my kind of chaos.
Now, before you get too excited and start practicing your best Wesley Snipes impression, remember this is just a leak. NetEase Games, the folks behind *Marvel Rivals*, are known to shuffle characters in and out of these team-ups. So, Moon Knight might get the boot (sorry, Marc!), or the invisibility perk might be tweaked. It's all up in the air until Season 3.5 drops on August 8th.
Speaking of Season 3, it's already unleashed Jean Grey/Phoenix upon the unsuspecting masses, and the roadmap's teasing a collab with the upcoming *Fantastic Four: First Steps* film. Seems like NetEase is throwing everything at the wall to see what sticks.
But it's not all sunshine and superhero landings in the world of *Marvel Rivals*. Some players are grumbling about the character selection wheel, reckon it's a bit clunky, especially with the ever-growing roster. Folks are suggesting a "favorites" section, or even letting players show off their preferred heroes during selection. Makes sense, right? Nobody wants to waste time scrolling when they could be blasting bad guys (or, you know, each other).
Honestly, I'm cautiously optimistic about *Marvel Rivals*. It's got potential, it's got Marvel characters (who doesn't love those?), and it seems like NetEase is listening to the community (at least, some of the time). Whether Blade ends up being a vanishing ninja or not, I'm keen to see what else they've got up their sleeves. Just, for the love of Stan Lee, fix that character selection wheel!
