Marvel Rivals has added a humorous twist to its gameplay with the introduction of references to a popular Moon Knight meme involving Dracula. This update, part of the mid-Season 1 release, features a new map titled Empire of Eternal Night: Central Park, where players can find Easter eggs related to the meme.
The meme portrays Moon Knight expressing anger towards Dracula over an alleged unpaid debt. While this scenario never occurred in the comics, the game embraces the unofficial lore, allowing for creative liberties. In the new gameplay, Moon Knight makes remarks indicating his frustration with Dracula, including lines such as „Dracula’s here? Good, that bloodsuckin‘ nerd owes me big“ and „it’s time for Dracula to pay up.“
Additionally, players can discover more about this dynamic in Moon Knight’s in-game lore, where he humorously states, „[vampires] suck“ and reiterates that „Dracula owes me money.“ This lighthearted addition comes amidst concerns about the game’s development, following a report of layoffs at NetEase, the game’s publisher.
Despite these challenges, Marvel Rivals has quickly gained popularity, becoming one of NetEase’s standout titles. The incorporation of fan-favorite memes into gameplay reflects the developers‘ awareness of community engagement and humor.
