NetEase Games has confirmed that Deadpool will join the Marvel Rivals roster on 16 January 2026, debuting as the hero shooter's first-ever 'three-in-one' hybrid character. In a move that aligns with the character's fourth-wall-breaking nature, the 'Merc with a Mouth' will be playable across all three of the game's core roles: Duelist, Strategist, and Vanguard.
The announcement was made during a 'Dev Vision' broadcast on 13 January, where creative director Guangguang revealed that Deadpool would headline Season 6, titled 'Night at the Museum.' The update represents a significant shift in the game's class-based architecture, offering players the ability to swap Wade Wilson's role mid-match.
