- Support the Squad: NetEase reveals 12 Deadpool-themed partner team bundles, with proceeds directly funding the professional organizations.
- Drop Details: The limited-edition bundles hit the in-game shop on March 26, 2026, at 7:00 PM PT, just ahead of the Ignite preseason.
- Bundle Contents: Each pack includes a team-specific Deadpool costume, nameplate, emoji, custom spray, and mood.
Marvel Rivals is really trying to step up its esports game, you know, taking the professional scene to a new level with their freshly announced Ignite Esports Partner Team Bundles. And they are kicking things off with the game’s most, uh, adaptable hero, Deadpool. These bundles, they let fans support their favorite esports organizations while also directly helping them out financially. Not a bad idea, right? NetEase has said that twelve top-tier partner teams, including names like Natus Vincere, Sentinels, and Gen.G, will be getting custom-themed gear. It is the first big esports integration for this game, which is pretty cool.
It is probably no accident that they went with Deadpool for these first bundles. See, he is known as one of the more versatile heroes in the game, and he can play as Vanguard, Duelist, or even Strategist. That pretty much guarantees that these team skins are going to get a lot of use at all levels of competitive play. Now, these skins aren’t the super fancy legendary-tier ones with like, special visual effects or sounds, but they provide a clean, professional look. Good enough for fans who wanting to show where their loyalty lies when they are playing ranked, or in, the upcoming Ignite circuit of course.
