In the Marvel Rivals files, dataminers have found a fight with a kraken and a new mode

Reliable dataminer X0X_Leaks uncovered hints of a new PvE mode in the upcoming Marvel Rivals update. Files reveal a kraken boss encounter, with existing animations but lacking high-resolution textures. The dataminer even showcased a size comparison within the game, giving players a preview of the colossal creature.

Marvel Rivals also detailed its major Spring Festival event, launching this Thursday. This event introduces a unique three-player team mode, "Clash of Dancing Lions," where players compete to score a ball into the opposing goal.

This mode bears a striking resemblance to Overwatch's Lucioball, and by extension, Rocket League. This similarity is noteworthy, considering Marvel Rivals' apparent success and need for unique content to distinguish itself from Blizzard's established title. While the Spring Festival event shares a core gameplay mechanic with Overwatch's original event, Marvel Rivals' implementation incorporates a distinct Chinese cultural theme, contrasting with Overwatch's Olympic Games aesthetic.
