NetEase, the developer behind Marvel Rivals, has officially pulled back the curtain on the game’s very first Player-versus-Environment (PvE) mode. And what better way to kick things off than with a ghoulish zombie invasion? This exciting new addition, dubbed ‘Zombie Mode,’ is set to arrive on October 23, promising a thrilling collaboration with Marvel Animation.
Drawing inspiration from last month’s popular Marvel Zombies miniseries, ‘Zombie Mode’ pits a curated squad of heroes—including Thor, Jeff the Landshark, Magik, Blade, and The Punisher—against relentless waves of the undead. Players will need to strategize and combine their unique powers to survive the onslaught.
Check out the official trailer for the new Zombie Mode, showcasing the intense action and the unique abilities of the featured heroes as they battle hordes of zombies and powerful bosses.
But it’s not just brain-hungry hordes you’ll be up against; prepare to confront formidable foes like Zombie Namor and the terrifying Queen of the Dead. Danny Koo, Marvel Games executive producer, shared insights into how each hero will bring specialized skills to the fight. Thor, for instance, enters a continuous ‘Awakened’ state to electrify nearby zombies, while Magik can tap into her formidable ‘Darkchild’ form. Not to be outdone, Jeff the Landshark will be able to barrel through enemies, adding a unique twist to combat.
This chilling new mode will be available across all platforms for Marvel Rivals—PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. Its release closely follows the debut of the gruesome Marvel Zombies streaming series on Disney+, making it a perfect time for fans to dive into the undead chaos.
In other recent updates, Marvel Rivals expanded its roster with the arrival of Daredevil, introduced in the ‘Heart of the Dragon’ seasonal update. This update also brought various Team-Up ability enhancements and general gameplay refinements. Looking ahead, players can anticipate full cross-platform progression being implemented with the launch of Season 5, promising an even more connected gaming experience.
