Marvel Rivals' upcoming update hints at a new PvE mode featuring a boss fight against a kraken, discovered by dataminer X0X_Leaks. While the kraken model includes some animations, high-resolution textures are currently absent. X0X_Leaks showcased a size comparison using in-game parameters to illustrate the kraken's potential scale.
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 in the opponent's goal. The 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 distinct from Overwatch. While the Spring Festival event's core gameplay mirrors an earlier Overwatch event, Marvel Rivals incorporates a distinct Chinese cultural theme, contrasting with Overwatch's Olympic Games aesthetic.
