Marvel Rivals Datamine Reveals Kraken Fight, New Mode

Reliable dataminer X0X_Leaks uncovered hints of a new PvE mode in the upcoming Marvel Rivals update. Files reveal a kraken boss encounter, with existing animations but lacking high-resolution textures. The dataminer showcased a size comparison using in-game parameters to give players a preview of the colossal creature.

Marvel Rivals also detailed its major Spring Festival event, launching this Thursday. This event introduces a unique 3v3 game mode, "Clash of Dancing Lions," offering a complimentary Star-Lord costume. Players will compete to score a ball into the opposing team's goal.

This mode bears a striking resemblance to Overwatch's Lucioball, and by extension, Rocket League. This similarity is noteworthy, given Marvel Rivals' apparent success and the need to establish a unique identity separate from Blizzard's established title. While the Spring Festival event shares a gameplay concept with Overwatch's initial event, Marvel Rivals' distinct Chinese cultural theme differentiates it.
