NetEase Games has revealed Marvel Rivals’ first-ever player-versus-environment (PvE) mode — Zombie Mode — launching on October 23. Inspired by Marvel Zombies, this new update brings cooperative chaos to the hero shooter. Players will face relentless waves of undead enemies and powerful bosses in a brand-new survival challenge.

Survive the Undead Horde

In Zombie Mode, players can choose from Thor, Blade, Magik, Jeff, and The Punisher, each equipped with unique skills built for large-scale battles. Teams must endure endless zombie waves while clearing objectives and confronting bosses like Zombie Namor and The Queen of the Dead.

Marvel Games executive producer Danny Koo described the mode as a true test of teamwork and stamina. “You’ll have to survive the horde, go toe-to-toe with Zombie Namor and The Queen of the Dead as bosses, and fight to save the world from getting totally zombified,” Koo explained during the announcement.

Experience Reimagined Hero Abilities

Each hero now wields new powers designed for the chaotic undead battles. Jeff charges straight through zombie swarms, while Blade cuts down enemies with his ricocheting Moon Blades. Thor dominates the battlefield with lightning in his Awakened state, and Magik transforms into her fearsome Darkchild form to crush foes up close. Meanwhile, The Punisher relies on heavy artillery to keep the horde at bay.

These reworked abilities encourage players to experiment with team compositions and tactics. By combining different heroes’ strengths, players can create powerful synergies and survive longer against the growing undead threat. Moreover, the mode’s replayable nature ensures every run feels fresh and challenging.

Marvel Rivals is available now on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store. For more updates on the game, be sure to follow them on their official X account.
