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 nightmare orchestrated by Dracula, with Doctor Doom taking a temporary backseat. The Fantastic Four lead the charge against Dracula's forces after Doctor Strange falls victim to a cunning trap.
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, complemented by 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 Season 1 skins, showcasing a striking dark aesthetic:
Marvel Rivals Season 1 Battle Pass Skins:
- Loki – All-Butcher
- Moon Knight – Blood Moon Knight
- Rocket Raccoon – Bounty Hunter
- Peni Parker – Blue Tarantula
- Magneto – King Magnus (House of M inspired)
- Namor – Savage Sub-Mariner
- Iron Man – Blood Edge Armor (Dark Souls-esque)
- Adam Warlock – Blood Soul
- Scarlet Witch – Emporium Matron
- Wolverine – Blood Berserker (Van Helsing inspired)
The dark and brooding theme extends to the new maps, dominated by a blood-red moon hanging over a gothic New York City. Loki's All-Butcher skin exudes menace, 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.
While the battle pass has generated considerable excitement, the absence of Fantastic Four skins has surprised some. Invisible Woman and Mister Fantastic debut in Season 1, but their cosmetic options will be available separately in the in-game shop. With a plethora of content on the horizon, anticipation is high for NetEase Games' next move in the Marvel Rivals universe.
