On Oct. 17, 2025, Marvel Rivals announced its first-ever PvE mode: Marvel Zombies, launching Oct. 23.

Players will battle hordes of zombies and bosses, similar to Call of Duty Zombies, choosing from five Marvel characters: Blade, Thor, Magik, Punisher, and Jeff. Up to four players can join a session.

Character abilities have been updated — Jeff now has an AoE attack, and Punisher’s turret fires automatically. Boss fights include Hela and Namor.

PvE mode is a smart move — it attracts casual players while keeping the core competitive crowd engaged.

Marvel Rivals blending PvE with PvP could make it one of the most replayable superhero games yet.
