Marvel Rivals' upcoming update hints at a PvE mode featuring a boss battle against a kraken, according to dataminer X0X_Leaks. While the kraken model shows basic animations, high-resolution textures are still absent. X0X_Leaks demonstrated the kraken's potential in-game size using existing game parameters.
Separately, Marvel Rivals announced a Spring Festival event launching this Thursday. This event introduces a 3v3 game mode, "Clash of Dancing Lions," where teams compete to score a ball into the opposing goal. The mode's similarity to Overwatch's Lucioball and Rocket League is undeniable.
This resemblance is noteworthy, suggesting Marvel Rivals is actively seeking to establish its unique identity amidst competition with established titles like Overwatch. While the new mode shares similarities with Overwatch's initial event, Marvel Rivals distinguishes itself with a distinct Chinese cultural theme, contrasting with Overwatch's Olympic Games focus.
