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

Marvel Rivals' upcoming update, as discovered by reliable dataminer X0X_Leaks, hints at a new PvE mode featuring a boss battle against a kraken. While the kraken model boasts some animations, high-resolution textures are currently absent. The dataminer showcased a size comparison using in-game parameters to illustrate the kraken's potential scale.

Separately, Marvel Rivals has detailed its significant Spring Festival event. Beginning this Thursday, players can enjoy a unique three-on-three game mode, "Clash of Dancing Lions," offering a complimentary Star-Lord costume. This mode involves scoring a ball into the opposing team's goal, drawing comparisons to Overwatch's Lucioball and Rocket League.

This similarity is noteworthy, considering Marvel Rivals' apparent attempt to establish its own identity amidst competition with Overwatch. The Spring Festival event, while innovative, shares a core gameplay mechanic with an early Overwatch event, albeit with a distinct Chinese cultural theme in contrast to Overwatch's Olympic Games aesthetic. This suggests Marvel Rivals is actively creating original content while also drawing inspiration from established game mechanics.
