Starting on July 11th, players will have the ability to earn Accessory Points while joining Quick Match and Competitive battles. This currency can be exchanged for adorable little items like a Deadpool fling plush, a Jeff Handbag, and many other cosmetics.
The accents don’t impact gameplay, but give fans another way to show off their love for specific heroes. However, many are wondering why Deadpool is debuting as a plush while he is still unplayable in Marvel Rivals.
Where is Wade? Deadpool Fans Push Back on New Plush Before Hero Debut
In a social media post shared by the Marvel Rivals official account, players have been given a breakdown of the new accessory system alongside a mini trailer.
In the trailer, fans can see the Deadpool plush attached to Jeff, where it clings to the Land Shark’s fin with little hands. Other plushes showcased include the Orochi Plush, MJ Plush, Groot Plush, Rocket Plush, Alpine Plush, and H.E.R.B.I.E. Plush. Each functions similarly to Deadpool, but none have collected as much attention.
Players in the comments have jumped straight to speculation, wondering if the highlight of a Deadpool accessory could be a hint that he will finally debut in Marvel Rivals. One player stated, “DEADPOOL accessories, wonder what this means.”
Others see the accessories as a waste of time and have vocalized a desire for new characters over extra items. A player commented, “Please can we get deadpool as a playable character,” while another added, “Yeah, not a fan. I didn’t care for this when overwatch did it, and I still don’t care about them now. I see it as a waste of time and effort grinding through battle passes only to receive this on the way to the good stuff.”
Season 3 hype has already been high thanks to the roadmap that dropped, highlighting some of the new features and events that will be taking place. The Summer Party event will debut swimsuit skins for popular characters while new heroes have been teased through the start of August. Unfortunately, no information has been provided about the timeline for adding Deadpool to the game.
Many players have been frustrated that Deadpool has been a late addition. Many expected he would debut alongside or close to Wolverine, especially after the reception of the Deadpool & Wolverine film. The characters have become a package deal in recent years, and having one without the other appears incomplete.
