Marvel Games and NetEase Games used The Game Awards to unveil what’s next for Marvel Rivals. During the show, the teams premiered the Season 6: Night at the Museum trailer, confirming that Deadpool will join the hero shooter’s expanding roster when the new season begins on January 16, 2026. The fourth-wall-breaking mercenary brings his trademark twin katanas, dual pistols, and nonstop wisecracks to the team-based PvP shooter, which continues to add new heroes and villains across destructible multiverse maps.
The game is also putting its most chaotic mascot back in the spotlight with the return of Jeff’s Winter Splash Festival, a limited-time event centred on a brand-new map called Jeffland. Designed as an all-new three-way brawl, Jeffland pits players against three distinct Jeff builds, each with its own skill set, turning every match into a messy, slapstick showdown.
The mode leans into variety and replayability: different Jeff variants bring different tools to each fight, encouraging teams to adapt on the fly as the battle swings between the map’s arenas. Jeff’s Winter Splash Festival is scheduled to kick off on December 18. For Marvel Rivals, it marks a seasonal break from standard competitive play in favour of something louder, and stranger.
