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 size comparison within the game, offering a glimpse of the kraken's potential in-game appearance.
Marvel Rivals also detailed its major Spring Festival event, launching this Thursday. This event introduces a unique 3v3 game mode, "Clash of Dancing Lions," awarding players a free Star-Lord costume. The mode involves scoring a ball into the opposing team's goal, drawing comparisons to Overwatch's Lucioball and, more broadly, Rocket League.
This similarity to Overwatch's early content is noteworthy, suggesting Marvel Rivals is actively working to establish its own unique identity and content to differentiate itself from its predecessor. While the core gameplay is similar, the Spring Festival event boasts a distinctly Chinese aesthetic, unlike Overwatch's Olympic Games theme.
