Marvel Rivals' Season 1: Eternal Night Falls is a resounding success, largely due to the well-received Midnight Features event quests. Player feedback on social media and Reddit highlights the positive reception. The quests' versatility, allowing completion across Quick Play, Competitive, and AI modes, has been particularly praised, offering a less pressured environment for experimenting with new heroes and tackling challenges. The inclusion of rewarding incentives, such as a Blade preview Gallery Card, further enhances player satisfaction.
NetEase Games' recent achievements, including a DICE award nomination and PlayStation's Players' Choice award, underscore the game's growing popularity. The season launch also saw a record-breaking concurrent player count on Steam.

The developers have confirmed plans for a new playable hero every six weeks, although future seasons will feature less content than Season 1's expansive Fantastic Four introduction. This consistent hero rollout maintains player engagement and excitement.

Beyond the quests themselves, NetEase Games has enhanced the visual presentation. The Events tab now features an animated Midnight Features newspaper, showcasing each quest with engaging headlines and imagery. While not all quests are immediately available (full unlock expected January 17th), the completed set rewards players with a free Thor skin.
Further contributing to the positive reception are improvements such as two free battle pass skins (instead of one), new maps and game modes, and implemented balance changes. This focus on community feedback and attention to detail fuels optimism for the future of Marvel Rivals.
