Marvel Rivals PVE Mode Zombies Horde Explained

NetEase Games is expanding the world of Marvel Rivals with a new collaboration inspired by the Marvel Zombies series. This addition introduces a player-versus-environment mode that shifts the focus from traditional hero battles to survival against waves of undead enemies.

The crossover brings familiar faces from the animated series into the game while leaving room for other notable heroes who have yet to join the roster. By blending recognizable characters with fresh gameplay mechanics, the update aims to broaden the experience for players and strengthen the game’s connection to the larger Marvel universe.

Marvel Rivals Is Getting a Zombie Game Mode

NetEase Games confirmed a new Marvel Rivals update that introduces a zombie-themed player-versus-environment mode inspired by the Marvel Zombies series on Disney+. This limited-time feature lets teams of four heroes fight continuous waves of undead enemies. Players can encounter boss characters such as Zombie Namor and The Queen of the Dead (Wanda Maximoff), both drawn from the animated series. The mode launches on October 23, 2025, though the end date has not been announced.

Alongside this new mode, the seasonal event adds Halloween-themed cosmetics for several heroes. Characters like Jeff the Land Shark, Peni Parker, Scarlet Witch, and Spider-Man will receive special outfits designed to match the eerie atmosphere of the event. These additions align with NetEase’s roadmap for ongoing content updates that aim to keep the game active beyond its initial release.

Players can expect cooperative gameplay that emphasizes teamwork and survival. Each hero will use unique abilities to counter the undead, combining powers strategically to withstand increasingly difficult waves. The event also serves as a crossover celebration between the game and Marvel’s animated properties, reinforcing the connection between the two entertainment platforms.
