Marvel Rivals Season 6 has officially launched today, January 16, introducing the highly anticipated hero, Deadpool. This beloved mutant has been a top request from players since the game’s inception, and with his arrival, gamers can look forward to new ways to engage in battle using his versatile playstyles.
Accompanying Deadpool’s introduction is a fresh Battle Pass for Season 6, offering players numerous rewards to unlock before the next season rolls in. As NetEase unveils extensive details regarding Season 6, it becomes evident how each update can dramatically alter the game’s meta, helping Marvel Rivals maintain its position as one of the top PC games available.
Having accumulated over 300 hours of gameplay since launch, I have consistently participated at the start of each season to explore new heroes. I am particularly excited about Deadpool and eager to experience his dynamic abilities that allow role-switching. However, Deadpool’s presence isn’t the only game-changer this season; significant adjustments have also been made to popular characters such as Hulk and Gambit, which will undoubtedly influence gameplay strategies going forward.
Marvel Rivals Season 6 is set to launch at the following times around the world, with downtime expected to last about two hours:
– East Coast (US): 6AM ET
– West Coast (US): 3AM PT
– United Kingdom: 11AM GMT
– Australia (Sydney): 10PM AEST
– Japan (Tokyo): 8PM JST
During downtime, which begins two hours prior to the launch times, players may experience temporary disconnections as the game transitions to the new season.
Deadpool’s introduction brings an exciting blend of roles as he is characterized as a Vanguard, Duelist, and Strategist all packed into one hero. Equipped with dual pistols and a katana, he can inflict considerable damage, whether in close combat or from a distance. His gameplay integrates unique mechanics, such as the ability to deploy a shield bubble and heal teammates, pushing the boundaries of strategy and coordination within matches.
The latest update also includes significant balancing changes to various heroes. Notable buffs will enhance the capabilities of characters such as Hulk, Captain America, and Doctor Strange, while others, including Angela and Daredevil, receive nerfs that might shift the competitive landscape.
In addition, there will be changes to the ranked system. Players reaching Gold will receive a bonus Deadpool costume, while others can earn nameplates for achieving higher ranks, providing further incentive to engage with the competitive elements of the game.
As someone who has invested a vast amount of time into Marvel Rivals, I’m thrilled to embrace Deadpool as a potential main character in this season. This ongoing evolution within the game not only keeps the experience fresh but also fosters a communities of gamers eager to adapt and compete. Overall, the arrival of Deadpool and the accompanying updates promise an exciting new chapter for Marvel Rivals enthusiasts.
