Marvel Rivals’ Season 1 Event Missions Are a Big Hit With Fans

Marvel Rivals' Season 1: Eternal Night Falls is a resounding success, with players praising the newly introduced Midnight Features event quests. These quests offer a flexible approach to completion, allowing players to participate in Quick Play, Competitive matches, or even against AI opponents. This last option has proven particularly popular, providing a low-pressure environment for experimenting with new heroes and tackling challenges.

The positive reception extends beyond the quests themselves. Reddit users have highlighted the improved visual presentation of the event quests, showcased via an animated Daily Bugle-style newspaper within the game's Events tab. The anticipation for the full unlock of all quests on January 17th, culminating in a free Thor skin, is palpable. Furthermore, the enhanced rewards, including a Gallery Card previewing Blade, have also contributed to the overall positive feedback.

NetEase Games' commitment to player satisfaction 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 crucial balance adjustments. The developer's dedication to incorporating community feedback is clear, fueling optimism for the future of Marvel Rivals. Their stated plan to release a new playable hero every month and a half further solidifies this positive outlook, although future seasons are expected to feature less content than the expansive Season 1. The game's recent DICE award nomination and PlayStation's Players' Choice award for top new game in December 2024 are further testaments to its success.
