Fixes
All Platforms
Fixed an issue where sending emojis in chat could cause the sender’s name to be invisible to other players.
Maps and Modes
- Marvel Zombies Mode: Career defeat records now correctly use the actual Final Hits count.
- Marvel Zombies Mode: Fixed several issues where zombies could get stuck in certain locations.
- Domination Energy Shuffle: In Domination mode, reconnecting during a round switch could sometimes zap your Ultimate Ability charge down to 50% if you had more. We’ve stabilized the power; no more energy resets worthy of a reality stone twist!
Heroes
Loki’s Trickster Troubles: We’ve fixed a bug where Loki couldn’t deploy his doppelgangers on Cyber-Webs left by Peni Parker’s Ultimate Ability after round swaps in Competitive. The God of Mischief is back in action, no more outwitting himself on the Spider-Bot’s turf!
Hela’s Haunted Hijinks: Hela had a ghostly glitch where if an enemy hit by Piercing Night respawned at Rocket Raccoon’s beacon, the Nightsword Thorns would still detonate after the delay. The Queen of Hel has relinquished her extra hits; no more double jeopardy from the beyond!
Blade’s Whirlwind Woes: Blade’s Bloodline Awakening Whirlwind Slash was unexpectedly interrupting Scarlet Shroud. We’ve sharpened his technique; now he slashes only what he’s meant to, not his own abilities!
Black Widow’s Sky-High Stumble: Natasha’s Power Jump could launch her to S.H.I.E.L.D. satellite heights if she were hit while airborne. We’ve clipped her wings, now the Widow’s leaps stay covert, not cosmic!
Spider-Man’s Speedy Slip-Ups: Spidey’s Ultimate Ability in certain situations sometimes failed to stun Captain America and Black Widow when they were sprinting faster than a New York taxi. Peter’s got his groove back. Now, nobody escapes the wall-crawler’s webs!
Invisible Woman’s Stealthy Slip-Up: Using Veiled Step, followed immediately by Force Physics, sometimes would only trigger its sound effects without actual damage or control. Now, her powers are as solid as the Fantastic Four, no more invisible mishaps!
Storm & Jeff’s Tornado Tangle: A bug let the Jeff-Nado appear even if Jeff the Land Shark was KO’d the moment when he and Storm initiated their team-up. We’ve calmed the winds, no more ghostly (and bitey) gales on the battlefield!
Jeff O’Lantern Spooky Snafu: After equipping the Jeff O’Lantern’s upgraded Ultimate Ability VFX, the effect stubbornly stuck to the default look in Marvel Zombies mode. We’ve exorcised the glitch, now his Halloween havoc looks as frightful(ly cute) as intended!

- Marvel Rivals’ PvE mode, Marvel Zombies, launches on October 23.
- You’ll have five playable heroes to choose from.
- In each mission you’ll defeat waves of zombies and two powerful bosses.
Marvel Rivals has frequently introduced new features and game modes to its player base season-after-season as the most recent October 16 update brought a new Voice Changer feature for fans. Using the feature, you could change your voice to sound like Venom, or even Luna Snow, if that’s what you’d like.
However, Marvel Rivals, over the course of multiple seasons, has also brought various new game modes that players can dive into, but there’s always been a demand among fans for a PvE mode that allows even bitter enemies to team up together. Well, now at Gamescom Asia 2025, NetEase has finally revealed that a PvE mode called Marvel Zombies is making its debut for the first time ever in Marvel Rivals, and players won’t even have to wait too long for it.
Marvel Rivals is Bringing Marvel Zombies to Life in New PvE Mode Dropping Next Week
Marvel Rivals Executive Producer Danny Koo and Head of Streaming, TV, and Animation at Marvel Studios, Brad Winderbaum, made a huge announcement at Gamescom Asia 2025 that the latest animated series, Marvel Zombies , is now entering the battlefield of Marvel Rivals in the form of a new PvE game mode, launching on October 23, 2025, at 12 PM UTC.
The mode will be the first-ever PvE mode to debut in Marvel Rivals, which will allow players to team up together to battle against waves of zombies and finally end the fight by defeating one of the two bosses: Zombie Namor or Queen of the Dead Scarlet Witch.
Players will only be given a choice to play as one of five characters in the mode, with the likes of heroes such as Thor, Blade, Jeff the Land Shark, Magik, and The Punisher. Each hero has also been given a unique ability to wipe out hordes of zombies more effectively.
Jeff can charge through hordes while hidden effortlessly, Blade can slice and dice zombies with his bouncing Moon Blades, Thor can shock zombies in his persistent Awakened State, and Magik can go berserk in her unlimited Darkchild form.
Furthermore, you can also place an automatic turret as The Punisher while you fire some serious ammo at the undead. Players will play in a team of four and will also have increased health, upwards of 2200, so they can last longer, and the action doesn’t stop.
