HEY NERDS!

**Deadpool here, hijacking the patch notes because, let's face it, nobody reads these unless you need to know if your main got nerfed. Then you whine that there are no balance updates here, and some random internet person tells you what you really want is the Balance Post, not the Patch Notes. I see you, internet people! Well, guess what? Season 6 is almost here! (They took this long to add me!? Who came before, oh Gambit & Rogue... together? #$%& that!) Anyways, I'm here, I'm playable, and I'm ready to make the Collector's Museum wilder than a taco truck at a biker rally.**

BTW, I guess I should tell you that the game will be down for **about 2 hours on January 16th, from 9:00 AM (UTC)** while the tech wizards in the back room inject me into the mainframe (or whatever it is they do). Anyway, let's break the fourth wall and get to the goods!

##### **New Stuff**

##### **The Best Hero Ever (It's Me!)**

Deadpool is joining Marvel Rivals! Katanas, quips, healing factor, now available at a spawn point near you. I'm here to slice, dice, and steal the spotlight. And yes, I talk. A lot.

##### **
New Plot Twists & Tales**

1. New Serial - Night at the Museum! It's like that other one, but with more explosions and 90% more Deadpool.
2. New Deadpool Lore - Hero In His Own Mind. Hey, I take offense to that!

##### **
Hero Proficiency, Now with Extra Bragging Rights**

Lorded everyone? Not anymore! Season 6 brings more levels, more rewards, and more reasons to keep flexing your main. Unlock them all and make your lobbies jealous.
(And the best part, all that sweet Proficiency that you've been stockpiling will not go to waste. It's getting automatically converted into shiny, new levels with the update. That means if you've been a total sweat and racked up a mountain of Proficiency, you'll INSTANTLY unlock new rewards. Boom! Achievement unlocked. No extra button-mashing required.)

##### **
New Systems**

1. Times Square - Epic Photo Mode: New camera toys! Capture your most heroic, hilarious, or humiliating moments. Pick your fav filter and share with others. Insta, eat your heart out.
2. Controller Settings - Share the Genius: Save, share, and swap controller configs. Now you, too, can have Deadpool-level reflexes (results may vary, batteries not included).

##### **
New In Store**

1. Deadpool - Captain Pool Bundle: It's me in a hat. Buy it.
2. Venom - Marvel Cosmic Invasion Bundle: Retro Symbiote shenanigans!
3. Spider-Man - Marvel Cosmic Invasion: Spidey's here to crash the party.
4. Deadpool - Emoji Bundle: Because my face is just that expressive.
5. Invisible Woman Prism Parade Costume Chroma: Vivid Vibe, Radiant Ray, and Ultimate Ability VFX. Now 200% more visible...
**Available From: January 16th, 2026, at 09 : 00 : 00 (UTC). Buy now, thank me later!**

1. Peni Parker - Snow-SP//dr Bundle
2. Star-Lord - Starcracker Bundle
3. Daredevil - Not Daredevil Bundle

##### **
S6 Battle Pass**

All-new BP - Museum Ticket! Unlock 10 snazzy new costumes, starring:
Invisible Woman - Prism Parade (so shiny!)
Venom - Space Corsair (so gooey!)
Mantis - Galactic Gladiator (so galactic!)
And more. Gotta catch 'em all. Wait, wrong franchise?

##### **
Season Event: Whac-A-Jeff**

##### **
Gone Nutty For Gifts**

##### **
Jeff's Winter Splash Festival**

The end date has been moved back to January 29th, 2026, at 09 : 00 : 00 (UTC). Now with 100% more Jeffy action!

##### **
Competitive**

This season drops brand-new Nameplate Frames, Badges, and a treasure trove of rewards.
