Leaked Marvel Rivals files reveal upcoming PvE content featuring a Kraken boss. Dataminer X0X_Leaks uncovered animations for the Kraken model, though high-resolution textures are still missing. A size approximation, created by the dataminer using in-game parameters, offers a glimpse of the Kraken's potential appearance.
Marvel Rivals also announced a significant Spring Festival event launching this Thursday. This event introduces a 3v3 game mode, "Clash of Dancing Lions," offering a free Star-Lord costume. The mode, focused on scoring a ball into an opponent's goal, bears a striking resemblance to Overwatch's Lucioball.
This similarity is noteworthy, suggesting Marvel Rivals is actively seeking to establish its unique identity amidst competition with established titles like Overwatch. While the Spring Festival event's core gameplay echoes Overwatch's original Lucioball mode, Marvel Rivals distinguishes itself with a pronounced Chinese cultural theme, contrasting with Overwatch's Olympic Games aesthetic.
