Though Marvel Rivals is relatively new, players are already anticipating major content additions. Recent rumors of a potential PvE boss fight fueled speculation about an upcoming PvE mode. However, NetEase recently clarified that such a mode isn't currently in development.

At the DICE Summit in Las Vegas, we spoke with Marvel Rivals producer Weicong Wu about the possibility of a PvE mode. His response: "For now, we don't have any kind of PvE plan, but our development team is continuously experimenting with new gameplay modes. If we find a new mode that's entertaining and fun enough, we would, of course, bring it to our audience."

Following this, Marvel Games executive producer Danny Koo inquired about my interest in a PvE mode, to which I expressed enthusiasm. Wu elaborated: "We believe some of our audience would like a PvE mode. However, a hardcore PvE experience would be drastically different from our current game. Our team is experimenting with different approaches, perhaps a lighter mode, to see what works best."

Currently, concrete plans for a full PvE mode are absent. However, Wu hinted at NetEase exploring ideas for a "lighter" mode, possibly a limited-time event or similar addition. Further details remain undisclosed.

Marvel Rivals receives updates every six weeks, introducing new characters. The Human Torch and The Thing are the latest additions, arriving on February 21st. We also discussed potential Nintendo Switch 2 release and addressed the topic of alleged "fake hero leaks" in the game's code (separate articles covering these topics are available).
