Reliable dataminer X0X_Leaks has unearthed intriguing hints of a forthcoming PvE mode in Marvel Rivals. Analysis of game files following the next update reveals the presence of a kraken boss. While the monster model boasts some animations, high-resolution textures are currently absent. The dataminer cleverly utilized existing size parameters to showcase a potential in-game representation of the kraken, offering players a glimpse of what to expect.
Separately, Marvel Rivals has detailed its major Spring Festival event, commencing this Thursday. This event introduces a unique three-player team game mode, "Clash of Dancing Lions," and a free Star-Lord costume. The objective: score a ball into the opposing team's goal.
This mode bears a striking resemblance to Overwatch's Lucioball, and subsequently Rocket League. This similarity is particularly noteworthy given Marvel Rivals' apparent success in surpassing Overwatch in popularity, necessitating the creation of distinctive content to maintain its competitive edge. While the core gameplay is similar to Lucioball, the Marvel Rivals event incorporates a distinct Chinese cultural theme, contrasting with Overwatch's Olympic Games aesthetic.
