Marvel Rivals' upcoming update hints at a new PvE mode featuring a kraken boss, discovered by dataminer X0X_Leaks. While the kraken model boasts some animations, high-resolution textures are still absent. X0X_Leaks cleverly showcased a size comparison using in-game parameters to give players a glimpse of the colossal creature.
Separately, Marvel Rivals announced a significant Spring Festival event launching this Thursday. This event introduces a unique 3v3 game mode, "Clash of Dancing Lions," where teams compete to score a ball. The mode bears a striking resemblance to Overwatch's Lucioball, further emphasizing its Rocket League-inspired gameplay.
This similarity is noteworthy, given Marvel Rivals' apparent attempt to establish its own identity distinct from Overwatch. While the Spring Festival event's core gameplay mirrors an earlier Overwatch event, the incorporation of strong Chinese cultural elements differentiates it, contrasting with Overwatch's Olympic Games theme.
