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 using in-game parameters to give players a preview of the colossal creature.

Meanwhile, Marvel Rivals detailed its major Spring Festival event, launching this Thursday. This event introduces "Clash of Dancing Lions," a unique 3v3 game mode where teams compete to score a ball into the opposing goal. The 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 distinct content to differentiate itself from Overwatch. While the Spring Festival event arguably mirrors an early Overwatch mode, Marvel Rivals' implementation boasts a strong Chinese cultural influence, contrasting with Overwatch's Olympic Games theme.
