Deadpool has the most interesting concept I have ever seen for a hero shooter. I can't wait to see if they pull this off.
Guangzhou, China and Los Angeles, California, United States, January 13, 2026 – Today, Marvel Games and NetEase Games have unveiled full details for Season 6: Night at the Museum, launching January 16 for Marvel Rivals, the award-winning and critically-acclaimed Super Hero Team-Based PVP Shooter that lets players assemble an ever-evolving all-star squad of Super Heroes and Super Villains battling with unique powers across a dynamic lineup of destructible maps from across the Marvel Multiverse. Deadpool will join the ever-expanding roster for Season 6 as a triple-role hero, but in Quick and Competitive modes, only one Deadpool can appear on each side. Additionally, a new convoy map, Museum of Contemplation, will launch with a January 29 update. Season 6 will also introduce new features, accessories, plenty of quality-of-life updates and new rewards for the Marvel Rivals Championship.
Deadpool is a triple-role hero in Marvel Rivals, with in-game skill upgrades. In Quick and Competitive modes, only one Deadpool can appear on each side.
For Season 6, the Hero Proficiency system will get a major upgrade, allowing players to further showcase their incredible skills. The cap will be raised for each hero and new rewards added such as Units, Unstable Molecules, Nameplates, Titles, Nameplate Frames, Badges, Dynamic Avatars, and more. An all-new batch of adorable accessories for Deadpool, Rogue, Doctor Strange, Mister Fantastic, Squirrel Girl, Iron Man, Captain America, Daredevil, Black Panther, and Storm are coming in Season 6. These will be released with the new update. Also, verified college students will get access to a new rotation of 10 costumes and MVPs. University students can verify with their education email to unlock these exclusive benefits.
Season 6 will also introduce a Photo Mode to Times Square where players can adjust camera angles, choose their favorite filters, and capture those epic moments. Also as of the January 29 update, Times Square will also get a new area: The Clobberin' Club. Players can challenge others to duels here, and if they spend a small amount of Units, the match will be broadcast live on the big screens in Times Square!
Finally, starting with Season 6, factions in the Marvel Rivals Championship will receive even richer rewards. Top factions will still earn cash prizes, while others at every ranking can now win different amounts of Units, split among all members. Nameplates and Sprays will also be awarded to factions who make it to Open Qualifiers and actively participate. The MRC Nameplate Emblems have also been completely redesigned to cover more rankings and will be permanently saved.
In addition to the above, players can continue to get all the latest information from the Game Update featuring full Patch Notes and Hero Balance adjustments.
