US EditionSurprise, ‘Marvel Rivals’ Is Getting An Awesome PvE Zombies Mode
Marvel Rivals adds a Halloween-themed player-versus-environment mode featuring iconic heroes and bosses from Marvel Zombies, marking its first PvE event since launch.
- Developer NetEase announced a new PvE event, Zombie Mode, for Marvel Rivals arriving Friday, October 24, 2025, where hordes of zombies will assault the Midtown map and players must stop them.
- Developed with Marvel Animation, the event ties to the Disney+ Marvel Zombies miniseries and marks Marvel Rivals’ first Halloween-themed event, departing from its prior PvP-only design.
- Thor, Magik, Blade and others will fight with new mode-specific powers, facing bosses Zombie Namor and the 'Queen of the Dead' Scarlet Witch.
- Marvel Rivals could see renewed activity if Zombie Mode attracts returning players, as Paul Tassi/Forbes reports an 85 percent loss but notes concurrents peaked at 98,000.
- The event may be a test run for broader PvE ambitions by developer NetEase, but game progression and event rewards remain unclear, with more specifics expected soon.
