Now that you’ve watched ‘Marvel Zombies,’ NetEase hopes you’ll want to slay the undead together with friends in ‘Marvel Rivals.’<\/b>
\nNearly a full year after release, Marvel Rivals is getting its first-ever PvE (player versus enemy) mode in the form of \u201cMarvel Zombies.\u201d
Like the name implies, the mode is a collaboration with Marvel Animation and based on the recent Disney+ animated series of the same name. In the game, four players will take on endless hordes of the undead as Thor, Magik, Punisher, Jeff the Shark, and Blade, who each have different buffs or abilities specific to this mode. Players will also fight against two bosses: Zombie Namor and Scarlet Witch in her \u201cQueen of the Dead\u201d form, which are both from the show. The mode is a fun inclusion\u2014zombies used to be all the rage for major video games back in the day, and it\u2019s easy to imagine Rivals would\u2019ve had it even without doing any TV synergy.
NetEase is currently keeping mum on what rewards or progression awaits with this new \u201cZombie\u201d mode. Weeks ago, the developer revealed Marvel Rivals would get some Zombies-themed skins for characters like Blade, Spider-Man, and Scarlet Witch, and it\u2019s a fun addition just in time for the spooky season. Hopefully more PvE modes are on the horizon, and not just ones connected to MCU projects.
More information about the \u201cZombies\u201d mode and a longer trailer will both come before its launch on Thursday, October 23.<\/p>\n
