A prominent Marvel Rivals leaker claims that the rumored upcoming hero Blade will have a transformation and be able to see enemies through walls. NetEase Games recently announced that fans eagerly awaiting information about Season 1 will soon be able to learn more when a new trailer drops for Marvel Rivals on January 6. It's expected that the video will show off new heroes, maps, and more, such as giving players an official release time for the new season.

While rare, some Marvel Rivals heroes like Magik and Bruce Banner have transformations, which are usually tied to their ultimate abilities. Bruce Banner has two transformations, as one changes him into Hero Hulk while the other evolves him into Monster Hulk. Transformations typically enhance a character's existing abilities while also adding some fresh ones to choose from. Magik's transformation greatly increases the damage she deals with her blade, while Monster Hulk hits harder and can perform a devastating grab attack on foes.

Popular leaker X0X_LEAK made a post on Twitter claiming that the half-vampire hero Blade will have a transformation in Marvel Rivals. They claim Blade will be able to unleash his full vampire form, which could change his primary Slash ability and even give him the power to see enemies through walls. The ability to track enemies behind structures would make Blade a fearsome foe on the battlefield. While unconfirmed, it's possible that Blade could make his debut in Season 1 of Marvel Rivals with The Fantastic Four.

Blade May Have a Transformation in Marvel Rivals

Promotional art for Season 1 recently showed off The Fantastic Four, but little else is officially known about the heroes. Leakers recently revealed the full ability kit for Human Torch in Marvel Rivals, and they also claim to have found evidence that The Thing will be the game's next Vanguard. Datamined information seems to suggest that Mister Fantastic will be a Duelist and The Invisible Woman will be a Strategist. While many fans were surprised to see NetEase Games announce the four heroes at the same time, they were also enthusiastic about the addition of more iconic characters to the title's expansive roster.

As Season 0 comes to a close, leakers have managed to keep busy digging through the game's files, revealing many heroes and maps coming to Marvel Rivals in the future. If true, characters like Captain Marvel, Hit Monkey, Ultron, and more could be making their debut at some point soon. It's rumored that a Capture the Flag mode could also be added to the hero shooter soon, which has excited a large portion of the community. With so much on the horizon for Marvel Rivals, many players are excited to see what comes next.
