Get ready to swap your standard team fights for a terrifying fight for survival! The world of Marvel Rivals is about to be utterly transformed with the introduction of its very first player-versus-enemy (PvE) mode: Marvel Zombies Mode!
Timed perfectly for the spooky season, this isn’t just a simple event—it’s a massive, co-op, horde-survival experience that’s shaking up the hero shooter’s core formula. Here is everything you need to know about the new nightmare that just arrived in Midtown!
? What is Marvel Zombies Mode?
In a thrilling collaboration with Marvel Animation (which produced the excellent Marvel Zombies Disney+ series), NetEase Games has unleashed a terrifying PVE experience. Up until now, Marvel Rivals has been purely a 6v6 PvP team shooter, but this new mode throws the rulebook out the window.
Marvel Zombies Mode pits a team of four heroes against endless waves of the infected. Your primary objective is survival, completing set objectives, and ultimately going toe-to-toe with terrifying infected bosses.
? Who is Ready to Fight the Undead?
You won’t be able to pick from the full roster in this mode, as only a select few heroes are ready for the apocalyptic challenge. The current roster of zombie-slayers includes:
- Thor
- Blade
- Magik
- The Punisher
- Jeff the Shark
Crucially, these heroes aren’t just copy-pasted from PvP. They’ve been granted unique, mode-specific abilities to handle the hordes. Imagine charging through a swarm as Jeff the Shark, or using Blade’s bouncing Moon Blades for massive area-of-effect damage. Magik, for instance, can access her unlimited Darkchild form—a genuine powerhouse against the undead!
? Progression and Challenge
This mode isn’t a one-and-done deal. As you survive rounds and complete missions, you’ll earn progression that allows you to unlock powerful buffs called “Khonshu’s Blessings.” This creates a loadout system, letting you customise your hero with unique Traits and ability changes to build the ultimate zombie-killing machine.
And if the base difficulty isn’t enough to make your super-senses tingle, there are up to seven difficulty levels to climb, guaranteeing a brutal challenge for even the most coordinated teams.
? Boss Fights and Rewards
A zombie horde is one thing, but zombified superheroes are a whole other level of terror. Players will face off against devastating bosses, including Zombie Namor and the elusive Queen of the Dead (who appears to be an infected Scarlet Witch). These encounters will demand perfect teamwork and execution of your new abilities.
Beyond the thrill of survival, there are fantastic rewards to chase, including new zombie-themed hero skins for characters like Blade, Spider-Man, and Scarlet Witch.
?? Get Into the Fight!
The Marvel Zombies mode launched on October 23rd, just in time to celebrate Halloween!
If you’ve been looking for a break from the competitive grind or just want to experience a truly unique Marvel Rivals gameplay loop, this is your chance. Grab your squad, choose your champion, and prepare to hold the line against the infected.
