'Kraken Fight' and New Mode Discovered in Marvel Rivals Game

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 possesses some animations, high-resolution textures are currently absent. The dataminer showcased a size comparison using in-game parameters to illustrate the kraken's potential appearance.

Separately, Marvel Rivals has announced details of its major Spring Festival event, commencing this Thursday. This event introduces a unique 3v3 game mode, "Clash of Dancing Lions," where teams compete to score a ball into the opposing goal. The mode bears a strong resemblance to Overwatch's Lucioball and, indirectly, Rocket League.

This similarity is noteworthy, considering Marvel Rivals' apparent attempt to establish its own identity distinct from Overwatch. While the Spring Festival event's game mode shares similarities with Overwatch's initial special event, the Marvel Rivals version incorporates a distinct Chinese cultural theme, contrasting with Overwatch's Olympic Games aesthetic.
