Leaked Marvel Rivals game files reveal upcoming PvE content featuring a boss battle against a kraken. Dataminer X0X_Leaks discovered animations for the kraken model, though high-resolution textures are still absent. X0X_Leaks demonstrated the kraken's potential in-game scale using existing size parameters.
Separately, Marvel Rivals announced a major Spring Festival event launching this Thursday. This event introduces a three-player team-based game mode, "Clash of Dancing Lions," where the objective is to score a ball into the opposing team's goal. The mode bears a striking resemblance to Overwatch's Lucioball and Rocket League.
This similarity is noteworthy, given Marvel Rivals' apparent attempt to establish a unique identity distinct from Overwatch. While the Spring Festival event's core gameplay echoes Overwatch's initial event, Marvel Rivals incorporates a distinct Chinese cultural theme in contrast to Overwatch's Olympic Games aesthetic.
