Summary

• Players are enthusiastic about the Season 1 Midnight Features event quests in Marvel Rivals.
• These quests offer flexibility, allowing completion across multiple game modes, including AI matches. This is a welcome feature for many players.
• The developers plan to introduce a new playable hero to Marvel Rivals every six weeks.

Marvel Rivals players have flooded social media with praise for the Season 1: Eternal Night Falls Midnight Features event quests. This positive reception follows NetEase Games' recent successes, including a DICE award nomination and a PlayStation Players' Choice award for top new game (December 2024). The new season also saw Marvel Rivals break its concurrent player record on Steam.

Though early in Season 1, NetEase Games has already revealed future plans. Developers confirmed a new playable hero will launch approximately every month and a half. While Season 1 features the entire Fantastic Four over three months, future seasons will have a more measured content release. This hasn't dampened fan excitement for the steady stream of favorite characters joining the game.

Reddit user Useful_You_8045 highlighted the appeal of the Season 1 Midnight Features event quests, specifically praising their accessibility across various game modes (Quick Play, Competitive, and AI matches). The AI option has been particularly appreciated, enabling players to experiment with new heroes or tackle challenges without high-stakes pressure. The improved rewards, such as a Gallery Card previewing Blade, also garnered positive feedback.

Marvel Rivals’ Midnight Features Event Quests Are a Hit With Fans

NetEase Games enhanced the visual presentation of the event quests, further boosting their appeal. The Events tab now features an animated Midnight Features newspaper, showcasing each quest with engaging headlines and images—a lively addition to the Daily Bugle's paper. While not all quests are currently active, full unlock is anticipated for January 17th. Completing all quests rewards players with a free Thor skin.

Players largely welcome the Season 1 improvements from NetEase Games, such as offering two free skins in the battle pass (instead of one). The season also boasts new maps, a new game mode, and balance adjustments for fairer gameplay. This attention to detail and community feedback fuels optimism for the future of this popular hero shooter.
