Reliable dataminer X0X_Leaks uncovered hints of a new PvE mode in the upcoming Marvel Rivals update. Files reveal a kraken boss encounter, with existing animations but lacking high-resolution textures. The dataminer even showcased a size comparison using in-game parameters, giving players a glimpse of the colossal creature.
Marvel Rivals also detailed its major Spring Festival event, launching this Thursday. This event introduces "Clash of Dancing Lions," a unique 3v3 game mode where teams compete to score a ball into the opposing goal. The mode bears a striking resemblance to Overwatch's Lucioball and, by extension, Rocket League.
This similarity is noteworthy, given Marvel Rivals' apparent success and the need to establish a distinct identity separate from Overwatch. While the Spring Festival event's core gameplay echoes an earlier Overwatch mode, Marvel Rivals' implementation incorporates a strong Chinese cultural theme, differentiating it from Overwatch's Olympic Games aesthetic.
