Gaming News 8 Ayefkay August 27, 2025
Guess who’s sliding into your lobby armed with katanas, quips, and zero shame?
Yep, it’s Deadpool.
After hiding in the game files since late 2024, the Merc with a Mouth has finally been dragged into the spotlight. Leakers just cracked open Marvel Rivals and found Wade Wilson waiting with his swords, his mouth, and probably a few lawsuits.
This isn’t speculation anymore – it’s happening! Let’s break down what we know about our favorite loud mouthed antihero coming to Marvel Rivals.
December 2024: According to the Marvel Rivals’ Fandom page, Deadpool first showed up in a massive datamine of Marvel Rivals files – part of a list of 15 unreleased characters lurking in the code.
August 26, 2025: The real bomb dropped. Dataminers uncovered full-on voice interactions, confirming Deadpool and Daredevil are suiting up for the game!
While early whispers pegged Deadpool as a “strategist-type” hero, most recent breakdowns suggest he’ll fall into the Duelist category – probably specializing in one-on-one chaos, ambushes, and unpredictable play.
Which honestly tracks.
Strategy and Deadpool go together about as well as chimichangas and fine wine. A duelist role means he’s free to sow chaos, harass the backline, and laugh at you while you tilt.
Perfectly on brand.
Timing matters here:
Season 3.5: Running August 8 – September 12, 2025.
Season 4: Kicking off September 12, 2025
With Season 3.5 being a short filler, it’s almost guaranteed Deadpool (and Daredevil) are headlining the big Season 4 rollout. So mark September on your calendar and bring protection – because Wade Wilson’s about to invade your team comp.
Deadpool’s timing couldn’t be better. Deadpool & Wolverine (2024) gave the character a well-deserved massive surge in popularity, and Marvel fans have been screaming for him in Rivals ever since the first leaks hit.
He’s chaotic. He’s meta. He’s funny. Get in the mood for some Deadpool action with the video by Ben in Black below for a brief reminder of what we’re (hopefully) in for!
He breaks the fourth wall and possibly your will to live. And from the sound of those leaked voice lines, his banter with Spider-Man and other Marvel staples is going to be pure gold.
In short: Deadpool’s the kind of character that makes losing a match almost entertaining.
Almost.
Deadpool’s parachuting into Marvel Rivals whether you’re ready or not. And with his arrival, the game might finally get the unhinged energy boost it’s been missing.
Stock up on bandages – andmaybe mute that chat if you value your sanity.

About the author call_made
Hi, I'm the founder and editor-in-chief of Report AFK, a gaming and anime site built for people who are tired of sanitized mainstream media coverage and toothless hot takes. I want to bring both the technical know-how and battle-tested gamer instincts to every article here. Whether I'm deep-diving into ARAM strats, roasting a broken patch, or side-eyeing the latest "diverse" but soulless AAA release, I write with one goal in mind: cut the fluff and tell it how it is. I've worked in digital marketing and spoke in conferences nationwide, but my heart’s always been in the trenches of gaming - whether that’s grinding ladders, theorycrafting late at night, or binge-watching the 38th questionable isekai this season. Follow my rants, insights, and updates on ReportAFK.com and let me know what you think in the comments - I read (and usually respond to) every. single. one.
A place for gamers, by gamers, untarnished by corporate gaming media and their nonstop attempts to elevate bad games while denouncing any developers brave enough to stand up to them.
