Overview
- Deadpool arrives at launch as the game’s first hero who can be a Duelist, Vanguard, or Strategist, with role swaps handled on respawn and only one Deadpool allowed per team.
- His kit introduces a style-based XP system that upgrades abilities mid-match, with damage-focused pistols and katanas as a Duelist, healing versions as a Strategist, and unicorn-deployed shields as a Vanguard.
- A balance preview flags buffs for Hulk, Captain America, Doctor Strange, Iron Fist, and Blade, with nerfs to Angela, Daredevil, Gambit, and Invisible Woman, plus wider team-up adjustments.
- Times Square gains a photo mode and The Clobberin’ Club dueling arena, and hero proficiency is overhauled with expanded progression rewards.
- The season roadmap includes the Museum of Contemplation convoy map on Jan. 29, removal of Resource Rumble for iteration, a new PvE mode planned for the first half of 2026, and Elsa Bloodstone targeted for a mid-season update.
