Hold onto your vibranium shields, folks—NetEase just dropped a rotting, shambling bombshell for Marvel Rivals. As if dodging Loki’s illusions wasn’t tricky enough, players now face an undead apocalypse straight from Disney+’s Marvel Zombies! Starting October 23, 2025, this gnarly PvE mode throws heroes into a meat grinder of endless zombie waves. Forget fancy tactics; it’s all about survival instincts and wondering why Thor keeps yelling "ANOTHER!" when squishing skulls. Talk about a Halloween horror show with superhero seasoning! 🧟‍♂️💥

When Heroes Become Buffet Servers

NetEase ain’t playing nice with this collab. Players get exactly FIVE heroes to fend off the groaning horde—Magik, Jeff the Land Shark (yes, the shark), Blade, Punisher, and Thor. Why this motley crew? Who knows! Maybe Hulk got food poisoning from bad shawarma. Each character’s packing unique zombie-slaying abilities; Blade’s sword dances through rotten necks, while Jeff… well, let’s just say zombies taste like chicken to him. Teams max out at four, so someone’s always benchwarming while others scream "BRAAAAINS!" at their screens. Boss fights? Oh yeah—Zombie Namor and The Queen of the Dead crash the party, looking uglier than a Monday morning commute.

Seasons, Cross-Prog, and Spooky Threads

While zombies chew scenery, Season 4’s still flexing with newbies like Angela and Daredevil. But Season 5’s the real MVP—cross-progression finally arrives! No more crying over lost Spider-Man skins when switching platforms. Community’s been begging for this since launch; better late than never, eh? And hey, Halloween’s bringing drip for your faves:

  • 🔥 Jeff the Land Shark: Fishnet bodysuit (don’t ask)

  • 🕷️ Peni Parker: Glow-in-dark mech suit

  • 🔮 Scarlet Witch: Victorian ghost chic

  • 🕸️ Spider-Man: Pumpkin-head onesie (it’s weirdly cute)

Roadmap’s stuffed like a zombie piñata—zombie mode, costumes, progression fixes. But where’s Ms. Marvel or Red Guardian? Probably hiding from Jeff’s questionable fashion sense.

FAQ: Braaaaains Edition

  1. When does zombie mode end?

NetEase forgot to mention! Might vanish after Halloween… or linger like cafeteria mystery meat.

  1. Why only five heroes?

Rumor says others refused. Iron Man’s suit isn’t "zombie-goo-proof," apparently.

  1. Cross-progression when?

Season 5—so quit panicking and polish those Daredevil combos.

  1. Can I solo this nightmare?

Nope. Grab three pals or pray matchmaking’s merciful. Zombies hate lonely people.

  1. Is Jeff OP?

Duh. He’s a land shark. Ever seen a zombie out-chomp a shark? Exactly.

So there you have it, folks. Grab your controllers, dodge the drool, and remember: in Marvel Rivals, even apocalypses come with loot boxes. Stay spooky! 🎃
