Marvel Rivals Adds New PvE Game Mode in Latest Update

A sizable new Marvel Rivals update has gone live today and has added something that hasn’t been seen before: a PvE game mode. Since its arrival last year, Marvel Rivals has strictly been a PvP experience. Despite this limitation, it hasn’t hurt the game’s popularity whatsoever as it has instead become one of the biggest free-to-play titles on the market. For those who have grown tired of only duking it out with other players, though, a new mode is now available that will let players team up with one another to take down the undead masses.

Downloadable now, the latest Marvel Rivals update notably adds a game type based on the Marvel Zombies franchise. This mode will let players choose their favorite Rivals character and take on waves of zombies that are looking to take them down. While it’s a cool addition to Marvel Rivals, this mode will only be available for a limited time and will run from today, October 23rd, until November 14th. In addition, those on PS4 will not be able to access this mode.

Beyond this Marvel Zombies inclusion, Marvel Rivals has received a handful of additional overhauls today as well. Specifically, developer NetEase has resolved a handful of issues with specific characters like Hulk, Blade, Daredevil, and Captain America. Those who play Rivals on consoles have also seen one bug resolved that would force players out of games.

To get a look at all of these changes in greater detail, you can view the full patch notes for this new Marvel Rivals update today below.
