Marvel Rivals released a trailer this week for Blood Hunt, a four-player player-versus-environment mode that launches April 23. (youtube.com) The trailer says teams can “up to 4 players” and frames the mode around Dracula’s return to New York City, shifting Marvel Rivals from its usual six-versus-six matches to co-op fights against computer-controlled enemies. (youtube.com) NetEase first outlined Blood Hunt on April 14 in its Season 7.5 rollout, saying the mode would include four boss battles, a new hero progression system, a trait system, and a loot system. Season 7.5 began April 17, and Blood Hunt follows on April 23. (dotesports.com) That structure matters because Marvel Rivals launched in 2024 as a player-versus-player hero shooter, the kind of game built around teams fighting other teams rather than scripted enemies. Blood Hunt adds a separate lane for players who want Marvel characters and seasonal story beats without ranked-style pressure. (gamerant.com) Blood Hunt is also not Marvel Rivals’ first try at cooperative play. Game Rant and Dot Esports both describe it as a follow-up to last year’s Marvel Zombies player-versus-environment event, with NetEase now treating player-versus-environment as an ongoing part of the roadmap rather than a one-off experiment. (gamerant.com) (dotesports.com) The mode arrives as live-service shooters keep looking for ways to hold players beyond standard competitive queues. Dot Esports reported that Marvel Rivals’ developers have linked future expansion to both player-versus-environment content and broader story tie-ins, including its “Path to Doomsday” plans. (dotesports.com) The name can also confuse players because “Bloodhunt” already belongs to a different vampire game. Sharkmob’s Vampire: The Masquerade — Bloodhunt is a separate free-to-play battle royale on Steam, and its store page says its servers are scheduled to close on April 28, 2026. (store.steampowered.com) So the immediate news is narrower than the similar title suggests: Blood Hunt is Marvel Rivals’ next co-op event, not a revival of Sharkmob’s Bloodhunt. The trailer points to a game trying to keep its comic-book audience inside one client whether they want competition, co-op, or both. (youtube.com) (store.steampowered.com)
