Marvel Rivals Sets Oct. 23 Launch for First PvE Mode, 'Marvel Zombies'

NetEase is using the release to gauge demand for more cooperative content.

Overview

  • A new trailer confirms tiered Blessings that grant general stat boosts and hero-specific upgrades, including Vitality Boost values of +30, +100, and +185 across levels.
  • Hero-specific Blessings alter abilities; for example, The Punisher gains higher damage, a larger magazine, and access to an auto-locking deployable turret.
  • The mode features five playable heroes, wave-based encounters, two boss fights, and selectable difficulty levels at launch.
  • Executive producer Danny Koo reports positive pre-release feedback and says future PvE modes will be shaped by player response.
  • NetEase identifies the mystery Season 4.5 mode as Marvel Zombies, which is reported to be created in partnership with Marvel Animation and tied to the Disney+ series.
