Marvel Rivals' upcoming update, as uncovered by reliable dataminer X0X_Leaks, hints at a new PvE mode featuring a boss battle against a kraken. While the kraken model boasts some animations, high-resolution textures are currently absent. The dataminer showcased a size comparison within the game, providing a glimpse of the potential encounter.
Separately, Marvel Rivals has detailed its significant Spring Festival event, commencing this Thursday. This event introduces a unique three-player team mode, "Clash of Dancing Lions," where players compete to score a ball into the opposing team's goal.
This mode bears a striking resemblance to Overwatch's Lucioball, and by extension, Rocket League. This similarity is noteworthy, given Marvel Rivals' apparent attempt to establish its own identity and content distinct from Blizzard's Overwatch. The Spring Festival event, while innovative, arguably mirrors Overwatch's initial special event, albeit with a pronounced Chinese cultural theme instead of the Olympic Games aesthetic.
