2026 and beyond

The start of the year is going to be with Season 6, when Deadpool joins the roster. The fans are pretty hyped about his addition to the game, with Elsa Bloodstone teased as the next character to join in Season 6.5.

The developers’ pipeline for content is already packed for 2026 and even planned ahead into 2027. On the PvE, they were able to drop the zombie mode, which was in development for 6 months and received huge praise and a player count spike on the release.

The developers are going to work on more PvE modes and make them even better; however, they will need some time. There are more new skins coming ahead this weekend, with a surprise New Year’s event planned for Marvel Rivals.
