How to play Marvel Rivals Blood Hunt
The mode looks pretty similar to the previous PvE mode. You'll need to customize your builds for the heroes, and the character customization options are more extensive than before. Once the mode releases, we'll be updating this section with detailed build guides for each character.
Is Blood Hunt permanent in Marvel Rivals?
NetEase hasn't confirmed whether Blood Hunt will be a permanent addition or a limited-time event. However, there's good reason to believe it might stick around longer than initially planned. The previous Zombie Mode was originally a seasonal event. But the mode proved so popular with players that NetEase extended it multiple times before eventually removing it. The positive reception showed that Marvel Rivals players want PvE content alongside the standard PvP modes.
Given how well Zombie Mode performed and the expanded systems in Blood Hunt, there's a chance the Marvel Rivals team makes PvE modes a permanent feature in the future. They might rotate different PvE events throughout the year. We'll update this section once official information about Blood Hunt's availability is announced.
