Now that Blade has finally woken up from his slumber in Marvel Rivals, when do we get to see him on the roster?

Blade was first teased in Marvel Rivals in Season 1. Although his leaks had been around since S0, his in-game model and abilities were not out until The Empire of the Eternal Night swung by. Due to the involvement of Dracula in the storyline, it was the perfect time to introduce Blade to Marvel Rivals. However, he got captured and became a prisoner in Dracula’s castle in Central Park. When Season 1 ended, our heroes freed him, and the players could then find him resting in the Intergalactic Empire of Wakanda. Now that he has woken up from his sleep, when can we expect him on the roster?
Blade’s Arrival in Marvel Rivals

After waking up from his sleep in Wakanda, the official trailer for Marvel Rivals Season 3: The Abyss Awakens featured Blade. He rescued Phoenix from the evil clutches of Hela, who is now doing Knull’s bidding while he is imprisoned on his own planet. Now that Season 3 is here, Blade should have already arrived on the roster. However, that’s not how the hero release schedule works. The developers release two heroes each season, and the seasons are divided in two halves, one month each.
Since Phoenix arrived on the roster in Season 3, Blade is scheduled to release in Season 3.5. The date for the latter is not yet confirmed, but the schedule suggests that it may release between August 8 and August 11. He will most probably bring a new map with him and add to the existing Duelists in the game.
All Leaked Blade Abilities in Marvel Rivals

As we just mentioned, Blade will be a Duelist. The gameplay leaks so far have confirmed this. At the time of writing, the leaks suggest that Blade will have 300 base HP. He has two Dracula swords instead of his regular katanas. He will wield one sword in his hands while the other rests on his back. Blade will also have a hunting shotgun for ranged combat. According to the leaks, the shotgun will have five bullets in its magazine.
Apart from his primary attacks, he has a Step and Chop ability. It lets Blade step forward and attack an enemy. If wielding a gun, he will shoot the enemy after the step, applying reduced healing to them. On the contrary, if he’s wielding a sword, he will slash an enemy and apply slow to them.
Another leaked ability is called Blood Liberation, where he gains stronger senses and can’t be healed. However, all of his blood is now Dracula’s blood, meaning every attack will heal him through Lifesteal.
One more leaked ability in his base kit is the Damage Block that will reduce incoming damage. As for the team-up, he will enter the Lunar Force team-up with Cloak and Dagger and get the same invisible healing dome as Moon Knight.
Lastly, his Ultimate ability will have him dash in a straight area ahead while slashing everyone and everything in that area.
