Intrepid players of Marvel Rivals figured that a proper PvE component for the game would come eventually – and the spooky season seems set to deliver with an official zombie mashing mode:
As a loose tie-in with the Marvel Zombies series that has dropped on Disney+, the mode will see players taking to the streets of midtown to face the undead horde face-on – including some fallen heroes that seek to make the monster mash a great deal more challenging.
From the video description:
Under Khonshu’s shadow, the Queen of the Dead commands her undead army to take over Midtown. Unite with Marvel’s mightiest heroes and face her in the Marvel Rivals’ first-ever PvE mode – Marvel Zombies!
Players can also utilise a range of upgrades to change the build of their character, giving unique powers and buffs to assist with your undead onslaught. Fancy a more offensive Jeff, exploding your healing bubbles to damage a zombified Namor? That’s absolutely a thing you can do.
It looks like a fun little experiment, and may be a good shot in the arm to a game that has recently seen it’s meteoric popularity start to plateau a tad.
Jump in and fight off the zombie hordes when the Official Zombie Mode rises from its grave on October 24.
