Season 6 of Marvel Rivals is set to come out on Friday, January 16. NetEase has already revealed some of the content coming with it, including Deadpool, a new hero.
With a week until the new season, several things remain a mystery, including Deadpool’s role and balance changes. Interestingly, the community has been discussing leaked patch notes over the past 24 hours. Detailed Marvel Rivals Season 6 patch notes have recently surfaced online and are hilariously fake. Or, well, at least we hope that they are.
Let’s check them out.
