In the Marvel Rivals files, dataminers have found a fight with a kraken and a new mode

Leaked Marvel Rivals files reveal upcoming PvE content featuring a kraken boss. Dataminer X0X_Leaks discovered the kraken model, which currently possesses animations but lacks high-resolution textures. X0X_Leaks demonstrated the kraken's potential in-game size using its file parameters.

Separately, Marvel Rivals announced a major Spring Festival event launching this Thursday. This event introduces a 3v3 "Clash of Dancing Lions" mode, a ball-based game reminiscent of Overwatch's Lucioball and Rocket League. Players will compete to score goals. The event also includes a free Star-Lord costume.

This event's similarity to Overwatch's Lucioball is notable, particularly considering Marvel Rivals' apparent attempt to establish a unique identity separate from Blizzard's title. While the core gameplay is similar, Marvel Rivals' event incorporates a distinct Chinese cultural theme, contrasting with Overwatch's Olympic Games aesthetic.
