Marvel Rivals Unveils Brand New Zombie Mode and Special Halloween Even
Latest Announcements and Updates Debut at gamescom Asia
Bangkok, Thailand October 17, 2025 – Today at gamescom Asia and the Thailand Game Show, Marvel Games and NetEase Games unveiled new announcements and details for Marvel Rivals, the award-winning and critically-acclaimed Super Hero Team-Based PVP Shooter that lets players assemble an ever-evolving all-star squad of Super Heroes and Super Villains battling with unique powers across a dynamic lineup of destructible maps from across the Marvel Multiverse. Marvel Rivals will see the introduction of a brand new, limited-time PvE Zombie Mode. These announcements were made by Marvel Games Executive Producer Danny Koo during the keynote presentation at gamescom Asia and the Thailand Game Show.
Under Khonshu’s guidance, infiltrate Midtown New York—now engulfed by the zombie virus—alongside your remaining Super Hero teammates. Your objective is singular: Find and stop the Queen of the Dead and her evil plan at any cost. In this new Mode inspired by Marvel Animation’s Marvel Zombies, you’ll get to play as Thor, Blade, Magik, Jeff, or The Punisher, taking on endless waves of zombies. You’ll have to survive the horde, go toe-to-toe with Zombie Namor and The Queen of the Dead as bosses, and fight to save the world from getting totally zombified. Each hero has been given some unique abilities: Charge through the hordes as Jeff, slice and dice with Blade’s bouncing Moon Blades, shock zombies with Thor in his persistent Awakened state, or go berserk as Magik in her unlimited Darkchild form! Showcase your epic combat skills against the zombie swarms and tough bosses!
In addition to the above, players can continue to get all the latest information from the Game Update featuring full Patch Notes and Hero Balance adjustments.
