Marvel Rivals' upcoming update hints at a PvE mode featuring a colossal kraken boss, discovered by reliable dataminer X0X_Leaks. While the kraken model boasts some animations, high-resolution textures are currently absent. The dataminer cleverly utilized in-game size parameters to offer a glimpse of the kraken's potential in-game appearance.

Separately, Marvel Rivals has unveiled details of its significant 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 striking resemblance to Overwatch's Lucioball, and, by extension, Rocket League.

This similarity is noteworthy given Marvel Rivals' apparent attempt to establish its own identity, distinct from Overwatch. While the Spring Festival event's core gameplay mirrors an earlier Overwatch event, Marvel Rivals distinguishes itself with a pronounced Chinese cultural theme, contrasting with Overwatch's Olympic Games aesthetic.
