Blade might be coming to Marvel Rivals very soon.
A recent in game change has sparked major speculation among Marvel Rivals players. After months of subtle Easter eggs, many fans now believe that Blade is finally on his way to becoming a playable character in Season 3.
The Vampire Hunter Has Been Hiding In Plain Sight
Blade has technically been in the game since the beginning, though not in any active role. In Season 1, players noticed him chained up in Central Park during the Dracula map event. It felt like a fun background detail at the time, but it seems that moment was just the beginning of something bigger. Season 2 added to the mystery: Blade could be found sleeping in a bed in Wakanda, peacefully resting with his sword nearby. It was another small detail that most players overlooked, but for some fans, it was a clear sign that he was being slowly introduced into the game’s universe.
A Possible Hint
On June 19, something changed. After the latest patch, Blade’s bed in Wakanda was suddenly empty. His sword was gone, and the sheets looked untouched. It felt like he had just gotten up and vanished without a trace. Many players took it as a signal that Blade is finally awake and getting ready to fight. The timing only adds to the theory, with Season 3 scheduled to launch on July 11.

Why Blade Could Be A Logical Addition In Season 3
Marvel Rivals has been following a structure by introducing two new heroes each season. With Season 3 approaching on July 11, it would make sense for the developers to continue that pattern. Blade’s earlier appearances in the game, along with the recent update that removed him from his previous resting spot in Wakanda, suggest that he may soon take on a more active role. While nothing has been officially confirmed, some dataminers have found references to both Jean Grey and Blade in the game files, which supports the idea that he could be one of the next additions.

The Fans Are Ready
Blade showing up in Marvel Rivals, even just as an NPC, has been a fun surprise for many players. People have been pointing out how funny it is that Blade might join this game before the MCU. Whether Blade actually becomes playable in Season 3 or not, the buildup has been clever and exciting. Marvel Rivals has been teasing fans with just enough mystery to keep the hype alive. With the bed now empty and the sword gone, all signs point to one thing: Blade is on the move and we hope he's not just looking for a new sleeping spot.
