Marvel Rivals PvE Mode Not Planned by NetEase, Though Knows Player Base Wants It
[summaraize]
A few weeks ago, we reported on what appears to be a Kraken-like creature spotted in the Marvel Rivals update files, suggesting PvE (Player vs. Envrionment) is on the way. If you’re waiting for that, don’t hold your breath, as the developers have no plans to release something like it anytime soon.
This was confirmed by NetEase themselves, which confirmed there’s no current PvE mode planned for Marvel Rivals.
Marvel Rivals Is Not Getting a PvE Mode Anytime Soon
Producer Weicong Wu was asked about PvE plans while speaking to IGN at the DICE Summit in Las Vegas this week.
“For now we don’t have any kind of a PvE plan, but our development team is continuously experimenting with new game play modes. So if we found that a new specific game mode is entertaining enough, fun enough, we would of course bring it to our audience,” Wu said.
Marvel Games executive producer Danny Koo also joined the conversation, and asked the interviewer whether they’d like to see a PvE mode added in. After getting a confirmation about it, Koo said, “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.”
Based on NetEase’s responses, there don’t seem to be any plans to add PvE, though the studio seems to be aware of the interest and is working on something smaller in case. While PvE mode might not be available anytime soon, NetEase has been busy updating the game. Speaking of which, we should be getting another update this coming week, which adds The Thing and Human Torch to the game’s roster of heroes and villains.
