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 showcased a size comparison using in-game parameters to illustrate the kraken's potential scale.

Meanwhile, Marvel Rivals detailed its major Spring Festival event, launching this Thursday. This event introduces a unique three-player team mode, "Clash of Dancing Lions," focused on scoring a ball into an opposing goal. The mode bears a strong resemblance to Overwatch's Lucioball and Rocket League.

This similarity is noteworthy, given Marvel Rivals' apparent success and the need to establish a unique identity separate from Blizzard's Overwatch. While the Spring Festival event's mode shares similarities with Overwatch's inaugural event, Marvel Rivals' implementation incorporates a distinct Chinese cultural influence, unlike Overwatch's Olympic Games theme.
