Marvel\u2019s vampire hunter Blade looks like a lock for Marvel Rivals<\/a><\/em>, based on multiple in-game teasers including a look at the character\u2019s model. Blade\u2019s addition to NetEase Games\u2019 team-based hero shooter would certainly be in line with the Marvel Rivals<\/em>\u2019 current vampire-themed storyline<\/a> \u2014\u00a0and the studio is not being subtle about it at all.<\/p>\n

Blade has been teased in various pieces of artwork in Rivals<\/em>, starting with a gallery card that shows Dracula subduing the vampire hunter over the body of Ratatoskr. Blade is also prominently shown on the cover of the Daily Bugle newspaper that appears in Marvel Rivals<\/em>\u2019 current Event tab. But a recent trailer for the game\u2019s new map<\/a>, Empire of Eternal Night: Central Park, offers the clearest hints that Blade is coming to Marvel Rivals<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The trailer teases a sneak peek at Blade\u2019s in-game model, and heralds his arrival in a tabletop board game seen in Squirrel Girl\u2019s lair. There, a set for the fictional game The Tomb of Dracula: War of Central Park<\/em> shows Blade, Dr. Strange, and Squirrel Girl teaming up to take down Dracula.<\/p>\n
