Marvel Rivals Season 1: Eternal Night Falls – A Deep Dive into the Darkhold Battle Pass
Get ready for the chilling debut of Marvel Rivals Season 1, "Eternal Night Falls," launching January 10th at 1 AM PST! This season plunges players into a gothic, Dracula-centric storyline where the Fantastic Four lead the charge against the forces of darkness. Doctor Doom takes a backseat this time, overshadowed by the sinister Count.
The Darkhold Battle Pass, priced at 990 Lattice (approximately $10), offers a wealth of rewards. Complete the pass to earn 600 Lattice and 600 Units, usable for future cosmetic purchases or battle passes. Ten exclusive skins headline the rewards, alongside sprays, nameplates, emotes, and MVP animations. A key benefit: the pass doesn't expire, allowing completion at your own pace.
NetEase Games has unveiled a sneak peek at the stylish skins:
A Gallery of Gothic Glamour:
The battle pass boasts a distinctly dark aesthetic. Magneto's "King Magnus" skin channels his House of M appearance. Rocket Raccoon adopts a Western gunslinger look, while Iron Man receives a medieval, Dark Souls-inspired armor upgrade. Peni Parker shines in a vibrant blue and white suit, and Namor sports a striking green and gold ensemble.
The Complete Skin Roster:
- Loki – All-Butcher
- Moon Knight – Blood Moon Knight
- Rocket Raccoon – Bounty Hunter
- Peni Parker – Blue Tarantula
- Magneto – King Magnus
- Namor – Savage Sub-Mariner
- Iron Man – Blood Edge Armor
- Adam Warlock – Blood Soul
- Scarlet Witch – Emporium Matron
- Wolverine – Blood Berserker
Wolverine's skin evokes a Van Helsing vibe, perfectly complementing the season's blood moon-drenched New York City maps. Loki's "All-Butcher" skin is menacing in dark green and black, while Moon Knight's black and white contrast is striking. Scarlet Witch's classic red and purple attire returns, and Adam Warlock sports golden armor with a crimson cape.
A Note on the Fantastic Four:
While the battle pass is packed with content, the absence of Fantastic Four skins has surprised some fans. Invisible Woman and Mister Fantastic debut in Season 1, but their cosmetics will be available separately in the in-game shop.
Despite this, the anticipation for Season 1 is high. The intriguing storyline, impressive skins, and the overall dark aesthetic promise a thrilling experience for Marvel Rivals players. The question remains: what will NetEase Games unveil next?
