In a move that may disappoint some fans, the developer of Marvel Rivals, a popular digital collectible card game, has confirmed that there are currently no plans to introduce a player versus environment (PvE) mode to the game.
According to sources close to the developer, the primary focus of Marvel Rivals remains on competitive play, with an emphasis on player versus player (PvP) battles. The game’s design and balance are centered around this core concept, and the developer feels that introducing a PvE mode would require significant changes to the game’s underlying mechanics.
“We understand that some fans have been asking for a PvE mode, but our primary focus is on delivering a high-quality competitive experience,” a spokesperson for the developer said in a statement. “We may revisit the idea of a PvE mode in the future, but for now, our priorities lie elsewhere.”
The decision to focus on PvP play is not unique to Marvel Rivals, as many digital collectible card games prioritize competitive play over single-player experiences. However, some games, such as Hearthstone, have successfully incorporated PvE modes, offering players a range of gameplay options.
Marvel Rivals has already gained a dedicated following among fans of digital collectible card games, and the developer’s commitment to supporting and growing the game’s competitive scene is likely to be welcomed by many.
The lack of a PvE mode in Marvel Rivals may be a disappointment to some fans, but it is unlikely to deter those who are drawn to the game’s competitive aspects. As the game continues to evolve and grow, it will be interesting to see how the developer balances the needs and expectations of their community.
