Is Blade Coming To Marvel Rivals Season Three?

June 20, 2025

After being rescued from Dracula's capture in Season One, players expected that Blade might have been one of the new playable characters for Season Two — though these of course turned out to be Emma Frost and Ultron instead. Blade has spent Season Two resting and recuperating from his ordeals, but a fun tweet from Marvel Rivals hints that perhaps he's ready to go:


Could this be a hint that Blade will be joining the fight as one of Season Three's new characters?

Judging by this, as well as various hints in the Cerebro and Hellfire Gala lore revealed in-game, we're guessing that Blade will be arriving alongside Jean Grey as next season's heroes, potentially to face off against a rising Knull. We'll find out soon enough!
