Marvel Rivals capped off its debut year with a Game Awards nomination for Best Ongoing Game, underscoring how consistently supported the live-service shooter has been since launch. According to developer NetEase, however, 2025 was only a “warm-up,” with much bigger plans already lined up for 2026.

So far, players know that co-op content will expand significantly following the popularity of the Marvel Zombies mode. While exact details remain under wraps, NetEase has hinted at everything from new enemy factions to more narrative-driven PvE experiences — signaling a future where Marvel Rivals becomes just as much about teamwork as competition.
