Deadpool Is Breaking the Rules in Marvel Rivals Too

Deadpool joins Marvel Rivals Season 6 with unique mid-match role switching and a new progression system, debuting alongside the Museum of Contemplation map.

  • Today NetEase announced Marvel Rivals will introduce Deadpool in Season 6’s Night at the Museum theme, with Wade Wilson interrupting the developer video to narrate his arrival.
  • Deadpool can switch between the three main archetypes at any time mid-game, introducing a meta-leaning, unpredictable hero with RPG-style progression to refresh the Rivals roster and meta.
  • Mechanically, the trailer and reveal show Wade Wilson can level up during matches, use a style-grade ultimate that rewards flashy fighting, and switch among Vanguard, Duelist, and Strategist role kits.
  • Only one Deadpool is permitted per team, and his mixed melee-and-ranged kit and occasional attack-speed bursts could alter match pacing and team composition, raising balance questions among the Rivals competitive community.
  • NetEase released a trailer that teases Deadpool's multirole functions and the new Museum of Contemplation map ahead of his January 16 debut.
