Remember those late-night Call of Duty Zombies sessions? The adrenaline, the frantic barricading, the endless waves of the undead, and the camaraderie with your squad as you inevitably faced the horde? That pure, unadulterated zombie-slaying joy became a cornerstone for countless gamers, myself included. While many excellent zombie games exist, I’ve been longing for that distinct ‘CoD Zombies moment’ to resurface within a popular new title. Thankfully, Marvel Rivals is here to deliver, introducing an exciting PvE zombie mode that promises to rekindle those nostalgic fires and let us unleash our inner ghoul-slayers once more.
Arriving perfectly for the spooky season, Marvel Rivals is unleashing its brand-new PvE mode, timed perfectly with the release of the animated series Marvel Zombies. This marks a significant first for Rivals, a game widely celebrated for its competitive PvP action. Now, players can put aside their rivalries and team up with up to three friends to confront relentless waves of shambling, brain-hungry monsters.
A thrilling gameplay preview showcases intense action and unrelenting hordes from the very start, featuring unique voice lines for each character in this special mode.
The Marvel Rivals Zombies mode, mirroring the animated series, allows players to step into the boots of iconic heroes like Thor, Blade, Magik, Jeff the Land Shark, and The Punisher. Your mission? To face down the formidable Namor, the Queen of the Dead, and countless hordes of mindless zombies.
Each hero is equipped with special, enhanced abilities tailored for this mode. While specifics are still emerging, we know that Jeff can unleash a powerful charge attack, Blade will wield his signature bouncing moon blades for devastating slices, Thor remains in his formidable Awakened state throughout, and Magik can freely tap into her potent Darkchild form. These amplified powers, while perhaps overpowered for standard PvP, are perfectly designed to maximize the exhilarating fun and chaos of this cooperative PvE experience. Prepare to dive in and defend the world from utter zombification!
The new Marvel Rivals Zombies game mode officially arrives on Thursday, October 23. Prepare your heroes and rally your friends for an epic battle against the undead.
If this new mode sparks a craving for more zombie action, plenty of other thrilling zombie games await. And for those ready to jump back into competitive play, mastering the current meta is key.
Gather your fellow heroes and prepare for the ultimate zombie showdown!
