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 addition for many players.
• NetEase Games plans to introduce a new playable hero to Marvel Rivals every six weeks.

Marvel Rivals players are celebrating the Season 1: Eternal Night Falls Midnight Features event quests. This positive reception follows NetEase Games' recent successes, including a DICE Award nomination and PlayStation's Players' Choice award for top new game in December 2024. The season launch also saw a new concurrent player record on Steam.

While Season 1 is still young, NetEase Games has revealed future plans: a new playable hero every month and a half. Although future seasons will feature less content than the Fantastic Four-focused Season 1, the steady influx of new characters has generated significant excitement.

Reddit user Useful_You_8045 highlighted the appeal of the Midnight Features quests, particularly their accessibility across Quick Play, Competitive, and AI matches. The option to play against AI is especially appreciated, providing a low-pressure environment for experimenting with heroes and tackling challenges. The Season 1 rewards, such as a Gallery Card previewing Blade, also received positive feedback.

NetEase Games enhanced the visual presentation of the event quests, significantly improving their in-game presence. The Events tab now features an animated Midnight Features newspaper, showcasing each quest with dynamic images and headlines. While not all quests are immediately available (full unlock expected January 17th), the reward—a free Thor skin—is a strong incentive for completion.

Players are largely pleased with Season 1's improvements, including two free skins in the battle pass (instead of one), new maps, a new game mode, and balance adjustments. NetEase Games' responsiveness to community feedback has fostered optimism about the game's future.
