Marvel Rivals' Season 1: Eternal Night Falls is a resounding success, with players praising the newly introduced Midnight Features event quests. These quests offer a flexible approach, allowing completion across various game modes, including Quick Play, Competitive, and crucially, against AI opponents. This latter option has been particularly welcomed by players, providing a low-pressure environment for experimenting with new heroes and tackling challenges without competitive stress.

The positive reception extends beyond the quest design. Reddit users have highlighted the improved visual presentation of the event quests, showcased through an animated Daily Bugle-style newspaper in the game's Events tab. The anticipation for the full unlock of all quests on January 17th, culminating in a free Thor skin, is palpable. Furthermore, the enhanced rewards, such as the early glimpse of Blade via a Gallery Card, have also contributed to the overwhelmingly positive player response.

NetEase Games' commitment to ongoing content updates is further fueling enthusiasm. The developers have confirmed a plan to introduce a new playable hero every month and a half, a schedule that, while scaling back from the initial Fantastic Four blitz, maintains a steady stream of fresh content. This, coupled with the addition of new maps, a new game mode, balance adjustments, and the provision of two free skins in the battle pass (instead of one), demonstrates a clear focus on player satisfaction and game improvement. The recent DICE award nomination and PlayStation's Players' Choice award further solidify Marvel Rivals' position as a leading hero shooter.
