Mode map
| Mode | Purpose | Connection |
|---|---|---|
| Episode | Original Marvel story and team lore | Available offline |
| Local Versus | Two players on one system | Offline |
| CPU battle | Fight computer-controlled teams | Offline |
| Training | Practice controls and situations | Offline core use |
| Start-Up Battle | Learn the basic battle structure | Offline core use |
| Ranked / Casual | Matchmaking against online opponents | Online |
| Room Match | Private online room | Online |
| Online Lobby | Social space and match access for up to 64 users | Online |
The 64-user lobby is not a 64-player fight. A match remains one player against one player, with each person controlling a four-character team.
Episode is the campaign answer
The official FAQ describes Episode Mode as a new original story set in the Marvel Universe, created with Marvel writing and visual talent. Beta materials exposed three chapters for one team, but that beta count should not be presented as the full shipping game's universal chapter total. This page therefore confirms the mode without inventing campaign length.
For account and subscription requirements, use the crossplay and offline page. For every launch fighter, use the roster page.
