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 currently low-resolution textures. The dataminer even showcased a scaled representation of the kraken within the game, giving players a preview of its potential in-game size.
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, to a lesser extent, Rocket League.
This similarity is noteworthy, given Marvel Rivals’ apparent success and the need for distinct content to differentiate itself from Overwatch. While the Spring Festival event's core gameplay shares similarities with Overwatch’s initial event, Marvel Rivals’ incorporates a strong Chinese cultural theme, setting it apart from Overwatch’s Olympic Games aesthetic.
