Exciting news for Marvel Rivals fans! Reliable dataminer X0X_Leaks has uncovered hints of an upcoming PvE mode in the game's files post the next update. This mode will feature a thrilling battle against a formidable boss, the Kraken. While the monster model already boasts some animations, high-resolution textures are yet to be added. To give players a sneak peek, the dataminer has utilized the Kraken's size parameters from the game files to simulate its appearance in a match. This glimpse into the future content promises an engaging new challenge for players.
In other Marvel Rivals news, the game is gearing up for its major Spring Festival event, kicking off this Thursday. The event introduces a unique game mode called Clash of Dancing Lions, where teams of three players will compete to score a ball into the opponent's goal. This mode draws inspiration from Lucioball, the inaugural special game mode in Overwatch, which itself was influenced by Rocket League. Although many might draw immediate comparisons to Rocket League due to the similarities, the essence of Clash of Dancing Lions is more akin to Lucioball.
This comparison is particularly interesting as Marvel Rivals aims to carve out its own identity in the competitive gaming landscape, especially in relation to Overwatch. While Marvel Rivals strives to produce original content to distinguish itself from Blizzard's game, its first major event features a mode reminiscent of Overwatch's initial event. The key difference lies in the thematic approach; Marvel Rivals infuses a strong Chinese influence into its event, contrasting with Overwatch's Olympic Games aesthetic. As part of the Spring Festival celebration, players can also look forward to receiving a complimentary Star-Lord costume, adding an extra layer of excitement to the festivities.
