A new battlefield awaits! Deadpool's moonlighting as a school bus driver (don't ask for his license), loading up a bus full of liberated creatures for a high-speed escape from the Collector's Museum. Will they cruise safely to the Contemplator's Garden and make a smoky getaway from the Coliseum of the Elders via his Censer, or will chaos (as always) find a way? Buckle up for a wild ride! Maximum fun, minimum survival guarantee!

Deep beneath Times Square, the Clobberin' Club is opening its doors for some serious 1v1 throwdowns! Test your skills, outsmart your rivals, and show the Chronoverse who's boss.

Get ready to get down!

Times Square: Disco Night!

This week, Psylocke, Hela, and Spider-Man are donning their brand-new costumes and taking center stage as lead dancers in the Times Square underground Disco! But they re not just there to bust a move; they're bringing gifts, too.

Groove with the stars: The first time you join the Disco and dance alongside any of these headliners after the update, you'll receive a special reward of 100 Units. Get ready to dance, dazzle, and dominate. The party's just getting started in Marvel Rivals!

New Animation For:

Doctor Strange

Available From: January 30th, 2026, at 02 : 00 : 00 (UTC).

Costume Visual Upgrades

1. Luna's Disco Pop Glasses Off: The "Glasses" customization for Luna Snow's Disco Pop costume just got an upgrade: you can now choose a "Remove" option! All rivals who own this costume will automatically unlock this new option. Sometimes a hero's best accessory is pure confidence.

2. Anti-Venom Evolution: Venom's Anti-Venom costume abilities have had their visuals upgraded; his skin tone now perfectly matches the Anti-Venom vibe. Symbiote style, fully unleashed!

Fixes and Optimizations

All Platforms

1. Deadpool & Galacta Banter: We've reduced the frequency of Deadpool and Galacta's voice lines, and now, only Deadpool himself can hear their intergalactic inside jokes. Sorry, fourth wall!

Console

1. Disco Drama: Improved broadcast visuals in the Disco club. Fewer afterimages, more clarity! Dances never looked so good!

2. Gambit's Haptic Hiatus: Some of Gambit's actions were missing controller vibration. Now, every card trick has the rumble it deserves!

3. Menu Mysteries: Some system menu entries didn't distinguish between Deadpool's different roles. Now, everything's crystal clear, no more identity confusion!

Heroes

1. Hela's Astral Slip-Up: Fixed an issue where Hela's Astral Flock landing spot could get wonky. Now she touches down with goddess-level precision!

2. Angela's Aggressive Absorption: Fixed an issue where, under certain conditions, Angela gained more health than intended when attacking in the Divine Judgement Zone.

The Marvel Rivals universe is ever-evolving, and we have plenty more surprises and updates on the horizon. Stay tuned to our official announcements for more!
