What changed

  • NEWDeadpoolSeason 6 - Jan 2026

    Deadpool joins the roster

    Deadpool joined Marvel Rivals in Season 6 as a Duelist.

    TipThe game’s first triple-role hero: you pick Deadpool, then choose Duelist, Strategist or Vanguard at spawn.

    Official source
  • NEWMuseum of ContemplationSeason 6 - Jan 2026

    New map: Museum of Contemplation

    Museum of Contemplation is a new map built around Deadpool bussing captured creatures out of the Collector's Museum.

    New battlefield added, built around Deadpool bussing captured creatures out of the Collector's Museum.

    TipTreat it like an escort/convoy-style map on first queue - the bus-escape theming means chokepoints likely cluster around the museum's exit routes, so scout those before committing ults.

    Official source
  • NEWThe Clobberin' ClubSeason 6 - Jan 2026

    New 1v1 mode: The Clobberin' Club

    The Clobberin' Club is a new standalone 1v1 duel mode set beneath Times Square.

    New standalone 1v1 duel mode added, set beneath Times Square.

    TipUse it to drill duelist matchups you've been avoiding in ranked - it's isolated 1v1, so there's no team crutch to hide a bad matchup read.

    Official source
  • BUFFBlack PantherSeason 6 - Jan 2026

    Offense and defense improved

    Black Panther's Spear TossRMB deals more damage, and Bast's DescentQ now reduces damage taken during its startup animation, so it is safer to use.

    Spear Toss damage up from 45 to 50, and Bast's Descent now grants 50% damage reduction during startup animation.

    TipYour ultimate is now much safer to cast - the startup armor lets you commit to the ability without getting blasted out.

    Official source
  • REWORKBladeSeason 6 - Jan 2026

    Stance-Dependent Dash and Shotgun Tuning

    Blade's shotgun Daywalker DashShift now slows and hits much harder on its second hit, while the sword version trades slows for stacking healing reduction; the shotgun has one fewer pellet and loses damage sooner.

    • Hunter's ShotgunLMB Daywalker Dash adds 40% slow for 1.5s and increases second hit damage from 20 to 50
    • Ancestral SwordLMB Daywalker Dash removes slows, applies 8% healing reduction per strike (32% total if all hit), reduces damage from 15 to 8 per hit
    • Hunter's Shotgun pellets reduced from 12 to 11, damage falloff starts at 15m (was 20m), 50% damage at 30m (was 40%).

    TipYour stance now matters - shotgun mode gains crowd control and burst damage, sword mode trades damage for healing suppression and utility.

    Official source
  • REWORKCloak & DaggerSeason 6 - Jan 2026

    Support rebalanced - healing reduced, new one-time effect, abilities merged

    Cloak & Dagger's Dagger Storm heals less, Spell Field now gives allies a one-time heal on creation, and Veil of Lightforce and Terror Cape now share two charges.

    Dagger Storm healing reduced from 55/s to 45/s. Spell Field now grants allies a one-time 60 healing on creation. Veil of Lightforce and Terror Cape now share 2 charges total with 10s recharge each and 2s mutual cooldown.

    TipYou have fewer passive healing resources but burst healing on spell creation. Plan ability usage around the shared charge system.

    Official source
  • BUFFDoctor StrangeSeason 6 - Jan 2026

    Dark Magic converts better, Cloak interrupts casts

    Doctor Strange's Maelstrom of MadnessE converts Dark Magic at a better ratio, and Cloak of LevitationSHIFT can now interrupt mid-cast and change trajectory.

    Increase Maelstrom of Madness Dark Magic conversion ratio from 1.2 to 1.3; Cloak of Levitation gains new effect to interrupt mid-cast and change trajectory.

    TipMore spell damage and superior mobility control - use the interrupt tech to escape and reposition in clutch moments.

    Official source
  • NERFGambitSeason 6 - Jan 2026

    Healing output and bounce control reduced

    Gambit heals less with Big Easy Impact and Ragin' Royal FlushQ, and Bridge BoostE can now bounce only twice off a single target.

    Big Easy Impact healing per explosion from 25 to 15 (total from 75 to 45), Ragin' Royal Flush healing from 75/s to 55/s, Bridge Boost max bounces on single target to 2.

    TipYour sustained healing drops; coordinate with teammates rather than solo supporting.

    Official source
  • BUFFHulkSeason 6 - Jan 2026

    Major Offensive & Defensive Buffs, Incredible LeapSpace Faster

    Hulk's Gamma BurstRMB comes back faster and hits harder, Incredible Leap charges faster, and Monster Hulk can no longer be launched or knocked back.

    • Gamma Burst cooldown reduced from 8 to 6 seconds and projectile damage increased from 70 to 75
    • Incredible Leap maximum charge time reduced from 2 to 1.7 seconds and minimum charge time reduced
    • Monster Hulk is now immune to launch and knockback effects.

    TipYou're dramatically harder to displace and control now - confidently frontline during Monster form. Use the faster Gamma Burst to maintain offensive pressure while healing with Indestructible GuardSHIFT.

    Official source
  • NERFInvisible WomanSeason 6 - Jan 2026

    Guardian ShieldRMB armor and healing reduced across the board

    Invisible Woman's Guardian Shield is weaker, refills more slowly after recall and heals the Invisible Woman less, so it holds up for less time.

    Guardian Shield value reduced from 250 to 200, restoration rate after recall from 42 to 34 per second, and self-healing from 50 to 25 per second.

    TipYour shield is less durable and provides less sustain - rely more on positioning and teammates for survival.

    Official source
  • REWORKNamorSeason 6 - Jan 2026

    Spawns stronger, cooldown ability weaker

    Namor's Aquatic DominionE gives less time per charge, but the default Monstro Spawn now has more health and damage and the Enhanced Spawn deals more damage.

    Aquatic Dominion time per charge decreases from 12 to 10 seconds, but default Monstro Spawn health increases to 125 and damage to 18, with Enhanced Spawn damage rising to 12.

    TipYour spawns are tougher but refresh less often - prioritize keeping them alive.

    Official source
  • NERFAngelaSeason 6 - Jan 2026

    Shield Stance Protection

    Angela's Shielded Stance shield absorbs less damage.

    Shielded Stance shield value reduced from 350 to 300.

    TipYour defensive stance shield is noticeably thinner.

    Official source
  • BUFFCaptain AmericaSeason 6 - Jan 2026

    Vibranium Energy SawE comes back faster

    Captain America's Vibranium Energy Saw has a shorter cooldown, so it can be thrown more often.

    Reduce Vibranium Energy Saw cooldown from 8s to 6s.

    TipFaster shield throws mean smoother combat flow and more battlefield pressure.

    Official source
  • NERFDaredevilSeason 6 - Jan 2026

    Damage Across All Tools

    Daredevil deals less damage across the kit: Devil's Chain's high-damage range is shorter, Devil's Throw hits softer, and grappling with Devil's Latch builds less Fury.

    • Devil's Chain high damage range reduced from 80 to 75
    • Devil's Throw single projectile damage reduced from 32.5 to 30 (total from 65 to 60 on single target)
    • Fury gained from Devil's Latch surface grapple reduced from 2 to 1.

    TipYour output drops on chains, throws, and grapple recharge stacking.

    Official source
  • BUFFEmma FrostSeason 6 - Jan 2026

    Energy Gain Across All Sources

    Emma Frost gains energy faster from every source (hitting heroes, Sentience and shields), so her abilities are powered up sooner.

    Energy gained increased: Hero hits from 10/s to 12/s, Sentience hits from 15/s to 18/s, Shield hits from 5/s to 6/s.

    TipAll your energy generation rates climb, letting you spam control abilities and ultimate faster.

    Official source
  • BUFFIron FistSeason 6 - Jan 2026

    Combo opener and defense duration buffed

    Iron Fist's first four Jeet Kune DoLMB strikes deal more damage, and Dragon's DefenseRMB can be held a little longer.

    • Jeet Kune Do first four strikes increased from 30 to 35
    • Dragon's Defense maximum duration increased from 1s to 1.2s.

    TipYour opening combo hits much harder and your defense lasts longer - you can chain combos more reliably.

    Official source
  • NERFRocket RaccoonSeason 6 - Jan 2026

    Crawl Movement Speed Reduction

    Rocket Raccoon moves more slowly during Wild CrawlSpace, so it is harder to escape or reposition with it.

    Wild Crawl movement speed reduced from 10 to 8 m/s.

    TipYou're slower while repositioning - plan your escapes earlier and avoid unnecessary crawls that give enemies time to react.

14 Jan 2026 › Marvel Rivals Version 20260116 Patch Notes: Season 6 Begins!

  • 2026/01/14
  • 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!

  • (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.)

14 Jan 2026 › Marvel Rivals Version 20260116 Patch Notes: Season 6 Begins! › New Systems

14 Jan 2026 › Marvel Rivals Version 20260116 Patch Notes: Season 6 Begins! › Tournaments

  • Alright, buckle up, champions (and future champions, and people who just like free stuff)! The Marvel Rivals Championship (MRC) Season 6 is bringing more changes than Spider-Man has costumes.
  • Platinum 3 Entry Requirement: Still the same. No, you can't bribe me or bribe the devs to sneak in at Bronze. Work for it, buttercup!

14 Jan 2026 › Marvel Rivals Version 20260116 Patch Notes: Season 6 Begins! › Rewards for EVERYONE!

  • Yup, not just the faction that flexes their way to the top. This season, rewards rain down from the champions all the way to those who valiantly (or hilariously) get knocked out in the open qualifiers. That means: All-new Nameplates, Sprays, Exclusive-Emblems, etc. Bling it up!

14 Jan 2026 › Marvel Rivals Version 20260116 Patch Notes: Season 6 Begins! › All Platforms

  • 1. Scoreboard Limbo: After spectating in a Custom Game - Tournament Room, players could get stuck on the results screen. Not anymore. You're welcome!

14 Jan 2026 › Marvel Rivals Version 20260116 Patch Notes: Season 6 Begins! › PC

  • 1. Mouse Optimization: High polling rate mouse experimental optimization setting (Settings - Keyboard) for all you hardware snobs (8K polling rate mice). Activating it can resolve related lag issues. Now your moves are as fast as my comebacks.
  • 2. Slimmer Files: PC install shrank by 15%. More room for cat memes!

14 Jan 2026 › Heroes

  • 1. Thunderstruck and Wonder-Not-So-Full: Thor's Thorforce, due to network delays, could sometimes look like it was charged up, then vanished faster than Loki at a family reunion. Using that vanishing Thorforce to activate Awakening Rune would cause it to fizzle out prematurely. Talk about awkward...
  • *Most cases of this have resolved; a few are still under investigation. Give them time, people.
  • 2. Magneto's Magnetic Misstep: If Winter Soldier's Tainted Voltage lands the exact second Magneto pops his Ultimate, Magneto could get launched like a bad elevator ride. Now he stays grounded; unless he's being dramatic, which is always.
  • 3. Punisher's Patchy Ping: Bad network vibes? The Punisher's Vantage Connection could send him to unexpected places under poor network conditions. It's fixed now, so you won't look like you're internet-exploring the upside-down anymore. No more "where am I?" F.Y.I. - you're welcome.
  • 4. Piercing Projectiles' Pinball Physics: Some piercing projectiles, on extremely rare occasions, decided to deal extra damage, just because. This has been fixed, so now you'll only get wrecked by skill, not by RNGesus.
  • 5. Strange's Grounded Gateway: Flying heroes couldn't use Doctor Strange portals cast directly on the ground. Ground-level sorcery: approved. The floor is not lava, it's destiny.
  • 6. Jeff the Land Shark Button Brouhaha!: Listen up, Jeff and Groot groupies! Jeff's Team-up Ability default keybind is now EMPTY. So, before you go trying to hitch a ride on Groot's bark-side, take a second to manually set your keybind. Your thumb (and Jeff) will thank you.
  • More madness, memes, and mayhem coming soon. Keep your eyes on the official Marvel Rivals channels or just follow me. I'm the most interesting part anyway. Patch note rating: 11/10. Would fourth wall break again. Deadpool out! See you in Season 6!

21 Jan 2026 › Heroes

  • 1. Deadpool's VFX Makeover:
  • - Strategist Deadpool Hype Healing: The healing visual effects triggered by katana strikes have been polished up, because even the Merc with a Mouth likes his healing flashy and fabulous!
  • - Vanguard Deadpool's Hardcore Trial: After passing the upgraded 'The Big Test,' the area Bonus Health visual effects are now clearer than a freshly cleaned katana. Extra health, extra style!
  • - Katana Afterparty: All Deadpools now get improved trailing and afterimage effects when acing their ultimate with katana in hand, leaving enemies seeing double (or triple)!
  • - Deadpool's Screen Scene: We've adjusted the visual clutter from the 'Deadpool In Your Area' ability for all roles. Wade's still got your back, just not blocking the whole screen anymore. Maximum effort, sub-maximum interference!
  • - We hope these visual upgrades improve your battle experience! We'll keep a keen eye on any VFX that could cause serious interference and continue to polish them until they're worthy of the Marvel name.
  • 2. Phoenix's Hot Potato: In rare cosmic circumstances, Phoenix's ultimate could be destroyed by teammates' projectiles. This fiery mishap is now history; no more friendly fire!
  • 3. Marvel Moment Mishap: In some cases, when a hero is affected by an Ultimate Ability (such as Emma Frost's) and another hero (for example, Spider-Man) uses a standard ability to score a terrain KO on the affected opponent, that hero (Spider-Man) could be left hanging without getting Ultimate Ability charge. We've set things right, no more tangled webs or cold shoulders! Now, everyone gets the energy they deserve.
