Marvel Rivals Zombie Mode is the very first PvE mode added to the game. This means it’s you and your team, not against other players from the real world, but against hordes of undead as well as zombified bosses like Namor. You will work to infiltrate an overrun New York using your hero’s survival skills. There are only a handful of heroes to choose from, and each one can be tweaked with attributes that change aspects of their default moveset.
