The multiverse is getting a little more… domestic? Marvel Rivals Season 7 is in full swing, and while last week gave us the sprawling chaos of the Lower Manhattan map, the April 9, 2026 update (Version 20260409) is all about style and polish.
NetEase has dropped a minor patch today that packs a punch in the cosmetics department, featuring a “Maid” theme that the community is already losing its mind over. If you’ve ever wanted to see Deadpool in a frilly apron, your oddly specific wish has been granted.

Deadpool and Jeff: The Dynamic Duo
The highlight of this patch is undoubtedly the Maid-Pool costume. Not only does it come with unique Chroma colors like Poppin’ Peach and Yapping Yolk, but it also features a VFX upgrade for his abilities.
Additionally, the Shark Attack Emote Combo Bundle is live, allowing Deadpool and Jeff the Land Shark to perform a duo emote that is as adorable as it is hilarious. However, players should note that the Jeff Rodeo emote has been disabled in the Warrior Falls Spawn Room area to prevent a glitch that allowed Jeff to drag enemies into the spawn zone for instant kills.

FAQs
Is there a new hero in the April 9 update?
No. This is a mid-month “minor” patch focused on cosmetics and bug fixes. However, leaks suggest that the Season 7.5 update next week may introduce a new Vanguard or Duelist to the roster. For the latest character leaks, stay tuned to our gaming news section.
How do the Lucky Draw events work?
The Lucky Draw (like Hospitality 101) requires specific event tokens to pull for the featured legendary skins. While there is a “pity” system in place to guarantee the skin after a certain number of draws, it is largely luck-based.
