NetEase Games has just announced a brand-new Marvel Rivals PvE mode: Marvel Zombies. The mode will be available on October 23.
Revealed on October 17, Marvel Zombies will be a four-player PvE mode in which players will have to fend off endless waves of zombies, culminating in a big boss fight against Zombie Namor and The Queen of the Dead, Wanda Maximoff. The event is a neat way to tie in with other Marvel projects, in particular with the Marvel Zombies TV series, which premiered this past September 24.
When Is The Marvel Rivals PvE Mode Coming Out?
As mentioned, Zombies Mode in Marvel Rivals will be playable starting on October 23. There will be a total of five playable characters: Thor, The Punisher, Jeff, Magik, and Blade.
Each will have unique abilities exclusive to Zombies Mode, making the experience much more than simply throwing a bunch of heroes into a PvE setting.
At the moment, a lot of the details regarding the mode are under wraps. We don't know if it'll be a limited-time event, although by the looks of it, being a Halloween-themed PvE mode, that would seem to be the case.
Potential rewards are also still not revealed. Considering that NetEase Games has done a stellar job mixing in high-quality paid cosmetics with neat free rewards, I suspect the Marvel Zombies mode will boast some very juicy cosmetics up for grabs.
That's all we know at the moment. It's a great move by NetEase Games, as the player base seems to be extremely fed up with the current state of the game, so much so that the player count has plummeted in recent weeks.
Would this be enough to win you over? Speaking for myself, it's definitely piqued my interest just enough to boot up Marvel Rivals for the first time in months when it launches.
