Exciting news for Marvel Rivals fans! Reliable dataminer X0X_Leaks has uncovered hints of an upcoming PvE mode in the game's next update. This new mode will feature players battling a formidable boss, the Kraken. Although the monster model already boasts some animations, high-resolution textures are yet to be implemented. To give players a sneak peek, the dataminer has added the Kraken to a match using its size parameters from the game files, providing an early glimpse of what to expect.
In other Marvel Rivals news, the game is set to launch its major Spring Festival event this Thursday. The event will introduce a unique game mode called Clash of Dancing Lions, where teams of three players will compete to score a ball into their opponent's goal. This mode draws inspiration from Lucioball, the inaugural special game mode in Overwatch, which itself was influenced by Rocket League. While many might instantly think of Rocket League due to the similarities, the mode's mechanics are more akin to Lucioball.
This comparison is particularly interesting because Marvel Rivals, aiming to distinguish itself from Overwatch, faces the challenge of creating original content. However, its first major event features a mode reminiscent of Overwatch's initial event. The key difference lies in the cultural theme: Marvel Rivals incorporates a strong Chinese influence, contrasting with Overwatch's Olympic Games aesthetic. Additionally, players can look forward to receiving a complimentary Star-Lord costume during the Spring Festival event, adding an extra layer of excitement to the festivities.
