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

Marvel Games' Executive Producer Danny Koo, currently leading Marvel Rivals, spoke at Gamescom Asia x Thailand Game Show about upcoming features and the game’s rapid content updates.

Introducing Marvel Zombie Mode

Marvel Rivals is launching its first Player versus Environment (PvE) content with the limited-time Marvel Zombie Mode. Described by Koo as a “testbed,” this mode features five playable characters battling waves of undead enemies across New York, culminating in a fight against the Queen of the Dead.

“It’s the first PvE mode for Marvel Rivals. It only has five characters right now. 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.”

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

Aggressive Release Schedule and Quality-of-Life Improvements

Koo highlighted the team’s aggressive release strategy of introducing one new hero every month, aiming to keep the game fresh and engaging. Alongside new heroes, they plan to implement various quality-of-life improvements based on community feedback and data.

Looking Ahead

With nearly ten months since launch, Marvel Rivals continues to evolve, using the PvE event as a foundation to explore more diverse gameplay modes and refine the player experience.

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

Through ongoing player data and community input, the team intends to expand PvE content and enhance the overall game flow in future updates.

Author’s Summary: Danny Koo reveals Marvel Rivals’ venture into PvE with Zombie Mode, an ambitious monthly hero release plan, and continuous improvements shaped by player feedback.
