Marvel Rivals’ Danny Koo Reveals Insights on Zombie Mode and Future Plans

Marvel Games' Executive Producer Danny Koo, currently leading Marvel Rivals, shared exclusive details at gamescom asia x Thailand Game Show about the game's evolving roadmap nearly 10 months after its launch.

Introduction of Zombie Mode

Marvel Rivals has introduced its first PvE content with a limited-time event called Marvel Zombie Mode. This mode features five playable characters fighting waves of undead enemies in New York, culminating in a battle against the Queen of the Dead.

“It’s the first PvE mode for Marvel Rivals. It only has five characters right now,” Koo said. “It’s just like a testbed to see what players like, how the system works, and hopefully in the future we’ll deploy more PvE mode based on data collected from this round of PvE event.”

This event is a collaboration with Marvel Animation, using assets directly from the show, including a zombie Namor and zombie Queen of the Dead, with costumes closely matching the animation.

“We have a zombie Namor and a zombie Queen of the Dead from the show. The costumes are very close to the animation,” Koo noted.

Rapid Hero Release Schedule

Koo also discussed Marvel Rivals’ aggressive content approach with a one-hero-per-month release cycle, highlighting the studio’s ambition to keep the game fresh and engaging.

Upcoming Quality-of-Life Improvements

The team is focusing on refining the player experience, planning multiple quality-of-life updates based on player feedback and data from current events.

Summary

Marvel Rivals is expanding its gameplay with innovative PvE modes like Zombie Mode while maintaining a fast-paced hero release schedule and committing to continuous improvements for players.
