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 low-resolution textures. The dataminer even showcased a size comparison using in-game parameters, giving players a glimpse of the colossal creature.

Marvel Rivals also detailed its major Spring Festival event, launching this Thursday. This event introduces a unique 3v3 game mode, "Clash of Dancing Lions," offering a complimentary Star-Lord costume. Players will compete to score a ball into the opposing team's goal, reminiscent of Overwatch's Lucioball and sharing similarities with Rocket League.

This comparison is notable, as Marvel Rivals seems to be surpassing Overwatch in popularity and requires distinct content to maintain its identity. Ironically, its inaugural major event features a game mode closely resembling Overwatch's original event, albeit with a pronounced Chinese cultural influence in contrast to Overwatch's Olympic theme.
