Marvel Rivals Season 6 Release Date – New Heroes & Patch Notes

The Marvel Rivals Season 6 Release Date arrives soon, adding Deadpool to the game with new patch notes as well. Furthermore, the developer recently released new patch notes and hero balance changes that returning players should notify themselves of. Overall, the newest season arrives soon with a new theme and much more. Without further ado, let’s dive into the Marvel Rivals Season 6 Release Date.

Marvel Rivals Season 6 & Deadpool Release Date – January 16th, 2026

The Marvel Rivals Season 6 Release Date is Friday, January 16th, 2026. The update will be available for all platforms.

Overall, Season adds two new heroes to the game – Deadpool and Elsa Bloodstorm.

Firstly, Deadpool is perhaps the most unique hero (or rather, anti-hero) addition to the game. Players can be a Duelist, Vanguard, or Strategist gives the character a ton of versatility. Each one also has different max HP numbers, while they all get a different ability.

Firstly, Vanguard Deadpool receives a deployable shield to provide some cover. But Strategist Deadpool can actively heal teammates when he shoots them or slices them with hiss Katana. Lastly, Duelist Deadpool is a bit more offensive as he’s able to throw his sword, which rotates for some extra range.

Regardless of which one you use, Deadpool can use both his Katanas and Pistols to wipe enemies out. Furthermore, Deadpool can even level up during a match by using a comic book he carries around. Throughout the match, you can gain XP (gains vary depending how “stylish” they are). Once you level up, you can actually improve Deadpool’s abilities, making him even deadlier in a fight.

Overall, Deadpool seemingly defies all logic. The infamous fourth-wall breaker outright denies to be stuck to one class, and his level up system makes him completely unique. It’s safe to say there will be a Deadpool in every match once he comes out for a long time.

Meanwhile, we’ve yet to hear more on Elsa Bloodstorm. But she will drop halfway through the season as the game’s roster continues to grow.
