Reliable dataminer X0X_Leaks uncovered hints of a new PvE mode in the upcoming Marvel Rivals update. Files reveal a kraken boss encounter, complete with some animations, though high-resolution textures are still missing. The dataminer even showcased a size comparison using in-game parameters, giving players a glimpse of the colossal creature.
Separately, Marvel Rivals announced its major Spring Festival event, launching this Thursday. This event introduces a unique 3v3 game mode, "Clash of Dancing Lions," and a free Star-Lord costume. Players will compete to score a ball into the opposing team's goal, a gameplay style reminiscent of Overwatch's Lucioball and Rocket League.
This similarity to Overwatch's Lucioball is noteworthy, especially considering Marvel Rivals' apparent aim to differentiate itself from Blizzard's established title. While the core gameplay is similar, Marvel Rivals' event features a distinct Chinese cultural influence, contrasting with Overwatch's Olympic Games theme.
