Summary

• Players are enthusiastic about the Season 1 Midnight Features event quests in Marvel Rivals.
• These quests offer flexibility, allowing completion across various game modes, including AI matches, a welcome option for many.
• The developers plan to introduce a new playable hero approximately every month and a half.

Marvel Rivals players have expressed widespread appreciation for the Season 1: Eternal Night Falls Midnight Features event quests on social media. This positive reception follows recent successes for NetEase Games, including a DICE award nomination for Marvel Rivals and a PlayStation Players' Choice award for top new game in December 2024. The new season also saw the game break its concurrent player record on Steam.

While still early in Season 1, NetEase Games has offered a glimpse into the future. Developers confirmed plans to release a new playable hero every month and a half. Although Season 1 features the entire Fantastic Four debuting over three months (a higher-than-average content release), future seasons will reportedly feature a more consistent, reduced content cadence. This hasn't dampened fan excitement for the steady stream of favorite characters to come.

Reddit user Useful_You_8045 highlighted the positive reception of the Midnight Features event quests, specifically praising their accessibility across Quick Play, Competitive, and AI matches. The AI option has been particularly appreciated, providing a low-pressure environment for experimenting with new heroes or focusing on specific challenges. Redditors also cited improved rewards, such as a Gallery Card offering an early look at Blade, as a contributing factor to their satisfaction.

Marvel Rivals’ Midnight Features Event Quests Are a Hit With Fans

NetEase Games also enhanced the visual presentation of the event quests, adding to their overall impact. The Events tab now features an animated Midnight Features newspaper, complete with headlines and images introducing each quest, bringing the Daily Bugle to life. While not all quests are immediately available (full unlock expected January 17th), completion rewards players with a free Thor skin.

Positive feedback extends beyond the quests. Players have welcomed improvements such as two free skins in the battle pass (instead of one), new maps, a new game mode, and balance changes designed to ensure fair gameplay across the diverse roster. This attention to detail and community feedback has fostered considerable optimism for the game's future.
