New Marvel Rivals mode could be PvE

NetEase Games appears to be kicking around the idea of a PvE mode in its megahit, Marvel Rivals. A tentacle monster will cap it off as a boss fight.

X0XLeak on Twitter added weight to a previous leak by RivalsLeaks, which asserted that that a PvE mode was in the works. It should be noted this is likely still a ways away, but if true, this inclusion will be a welcome one.

A PvE mode will make NetEase’s live service hero shooter stand out from the rest. Overwatch 2 notoriously was supposed to get modes for players to play PvE, only for them to be limited and eventually scrubbed entirely.

In our Marvel Rivals review, we said: “If you’re not into multiplayer, it’s at least worth a shot because it’s free-to-play. NetEase released Marvel Rivals at just the perfect time. We will see how far they can take this very strong launch, but currently, this game is a blast! It’s a must-play for Marvel fans, shooter fans, and especially Overwatch fans.”
