Data miner X0X_Leaks uncovered evidence within Marvel Rivals' game files hinting at a forthcoming PvE mode featuring a kraken boss. While the kraken model boasts some animations, high-resolution textures are currently absent. The dataminer successfully rendered a scaled representation of the kraken within the game environment, offering a glimpse of its potential in-game appearance.
Marvel Rivals also detailed its significant Spring Festival event, launching this Thursday. This event introduces a unique three-player team-based game mode, "Clash of Dancing Lions," where teams compete to score a ball into the opposing goal, and offers a free Star-Lord costume.
The game mode bears a striking resemblance to Overwatch's Lucioball, itself inspired by Rocket League. This similarity is noteworthy, given Marvel Rivals' apparent attempt to establish a distinct identity separate from Overwatch, a game it seems to have surpassed in popularity. However, its inaugural major event utilizes a strikingly similar game mode, albeit with a pronounced Chinese cultural theme in contrast to Overwatch's Olympic Games aesthetic.
