Exciting news for Marvel Rivals fans! Reliable dataminer X0X_Leaks has uncovered hints of an upcoming PvE mode in the game's files post the next update. This mode will feature a thrilling battle against a formidable boss, the Kraken. While the monster model already boasts some animations, high-resolution textures are yet to be added. To give players a sneak peek, the dataminer has utilized the Kraken's size parameters from the game files to simulate its appearance in a match. This glimpse into the future content promises an engaging new challenge for players.

In other thrilling developments, Marvel Rivals has announced the details of its major Spring Festival event, set to kick off this Thursday. The event introduces a unique game mode called Clash of Dancing Lions, where teams of three players will compete to score a ball into the opponent's goal. This mode draws inspiration from Lucioball, the inaugural special game mode in Overwatch, which itself was influenced by Rocket League. Although many might draw immediate comparisons to Rocket League due to the similarities, the essence of Clash of Dancing Lions is more akin to Lucioball.

This comparison sparks an interesting discussion, as Marvel Rivals aims to carve out its own identity in the competitive gaming landscape, especially in relation to Overwatch. While Marvel Rivals has seemingly surpassed Overwatch in some aspects, the introduction of a mode reminiscent of Overwatch's first event raises questions about originality. However, Marvel Rivals sets itself apart with a strong Chinese influence in its event, contrasting with Overwatch's Olympic Games aesthetic. As part of the Spring Festival event, players can also look forward to receiving a complimentary Star-Lord costume, adding to the excitement and festivities.
