Marvel Rivals follows the footsteps of Overwatch with its Spring Festival event

Marvel Rivals' Spring Festival event kicks off this Thursday! Get ready for a free Star-Lord costume and a brand-new game mode: Clash of Dancing Lions. This 3v3 mode challenges teams to score a ball in their opponents' net.

While the gameplay might evoke memories of Rocket League, it shares a closer resemblance to Overwatch's Lucioball – a point of interesting comparison. Marvel Rivals, currently exceeding Overwatch in popularity, needs to establish its unique identity. Launching a major event with a game mode so similar to Overwatch's inaugural event is a curious choice, though the Marvel Rivals version boasts a distinct Chinese New Year theme, unlike Overwatch's Olympic Games setting.

The good news? The Spring Festival event begins very soon!
