Marvel Rivals' upcoming update hints at a new PvE mode featuring a colossal kraken boss, according to dataminer X0X_Leaks. While the kraken model boasts some animations, high-resolution textures are still absent. X0X_Leaks cleverly utilized in-game size parameters to showcase a potential in-game appearance.

The game also unveiled details of its significant Spring Festival event, launching 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 striking resemblance to Overwatch's Lucioball, further drawing comparisons to Rocket League's gameplay mechanics.

This similarity is noteworthy, given Marvel Rivals' apparent aim to establish its own identity and content, distinct from Overwatch. While the Spring Festival event's core mode mirrors Overwatch's earlier event, Marvel Rivals incorporates a prominent Chinese cultural theme, contrasting with Overwatch's Olympic Games aesthetic.
