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 size using existing game parameters.
Separately, Marvel Rivals announced a significant Spring Festival event launching this Thursday. This event introduces "Clash of Dancing Lions," a 3v3 game mode focused on scoring a ball into the opposing team's goal. The mode bears a striking resemblance to Overwatch's Lucioball, and, by extension, 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 an earlier Overwatch event, the Marvel Rivals version incorporates a distinct Chinese cultural theme, contrasting with Overwatch's Olympic Games aesthetic.
