August 8 is going to be an exciting day forMarvel Rivalsplayers, as Blade is finally set to take to the battlefield on that date.Marvel Rivalshas been hinting at the Daywalker’s debut since Season 1, when Blade was seemingly imprisoned by Dracula in the Central Park map. In Season 2, players could see Blade napping within the Intergalactic Empire of Wakanda map – at least until a later update removed him, implying that Marvel’s legendary vampire hunter is fully rested and ready to bring justice to the undead once more.
Fans took this as a sign that Blade would finally be playable in the then-upcomingMarvel RivalsSeason 3, especially after the game’s developers playfully acknowledgedBlade’s disappearance from the Season 2 map. There have also been several leaks hinting at Blade’sMarvel Rivalsmove set, indicating that the Daywalker will utilize his signature swords, shotguns, and vampiric powers to take down opponents.
NowBlade has officially been confirmedas the nextMarvel Rivalsplayable character, set to go live on August 8 as part of the game’s Season 3.5 update. A recently released gameplay trailer highlights the Daywalker’s Duelist move set, which indeed consists of stylish sword attacks that might bringDevil May Cryto mind. His Shotgun brings “pressure force” in close range and can reduce enemy healing, while his Ravenous Ancestral Sword unleashes a deadly charge that slashes all foes in his wake.
