Although Marvel Rivals is a relatively new addition to the gaming world, fans are already buzzing with excitement about potential new features. Recent rumors have sparked discussions about a possible PvE boss fight, leading many to hope for a full-fledged PvE mode. However, NetEase has recently clarified that there are no immediate plans for such a mode...yet.
At the DICE Summit in Las Vegas, we had the opportunity to speak with Marvel Rivals producer Weicong Wu about any potential PvE developments. Here's what he had to say:
"For now, we don't have any kind of PvE plan, but our development team is continuously experimenting with new gameplay modes. So, if we find that a new specific game mode is entertaining enough and fun enough, we would, of course, bring it to our audience."
Following Wu's statement, Marvel Games executive producer Danny Koo chimed in, asking if I would like to see a PvE mode in Marvel Rivals. Upon expressing my interest, Wu elaborated:
"Yeah, we believe there are some of our audience that would like the PvE mode. But also, you can see that if we come up with a hardcore PvE experience, that will be totally a different distinctive experience from what we have right now. So our development team has been continuously experimenting with different approaches to achieve that goal, maybe a lighter mode, in a lighter sense of that, and to see what would work best for our game."
It appears that while there are no concrete plans for a PvE mode at the moment, Wu hints at the possibility of NetEase exploring a "lighter" game mode, perhaps in the form of a one-off event or something similar. For now, NetEase remains tight-lipped about further details.
Marvel Rivals continues to evolve, with new characters being added every month and a half. The Human Torch and The Thing are set to join the roster on February 21. Additionally, we discussed with Wu and Koo the potential for a Nintendo Switch 2 release for Marvel Rivals, which you can read about [ttpp]. We also addressed the issue of whether NetEase was trolling dataminers with fake hero "leaks" in the game's code.
