Marvel Rivals has just unveiled its exciting Spring Festival event, set to kick off this Thursday. Players can look forward to snagging a free Star-Lord costume, adding a stylish flair to their gaming experience. The event also introduces a unique game mode called "Clash of Dancing Lions," where teams of three players compete to score a ball into the opponents' goal. This mode might remind you of Rocket League at first glance, but it actually draws closer comparisons to Overwatch's inaugural special mode, Lucioball, which itself was inspired by Rocket League.
This comparison is particularly noteworthy because Marvel Rivals is currently seen as a strong contender against Overwatch. To establish its own identity and distance itself from the Blizzard title, Marvel Rivals needs to introduce original content. However, its first major event features a mode strikingly similar to Overwatch's first event. The key difference lies in the thematic approach: while Overwatch's event was themed around the Olympic Games, Marvel Rivals infuses its mode with vibrant Chinese elements, celebrating the Spring Festival.
The good news is that fans won't have to wait long to dive into the festivities, as the Spring Festival event is just around the corner. Get ready to experience the thrill of Clash of Dancing Lions and claim your exclusive Star-Lord costume!
