Dataminers Discover Kraken Fight and New Mode in Marvel Rivals Files

Exciting news for *Marvel Rivals* fans! Reliable dataminer X0X_Leaks has uncovered hints of a thrilling new PvE mode in the game's upcoming update. Players can look forward to battling a colossal boss, the Kraken. Although the monster's model currently features animations, high-resolution textures are still in the works. To give fans a sneak peek, X0X_Leaks used the Kraken's size parameters from the game files to simulate how it might appear in a match.

In other *Marvel Rivals* news, the game is set to celebrate its major Spring Festival event, kicking off this Thursday. This 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 first special game mode in Overwatch, which itself was influenced by Rocket League. While many might draw immediate comparisons to Rocket League, the connection to Lucioball is equally evident.

The comparison to Overwatch is particularly intriguing, as *Marvel Rivals* aims to carve out its own identity in the competitive gaming landscape. While it's true that the first major event of *Marvel Rivals* echoes the game mode introduced in Overwatch's initial event, there's a key difference: *Marvel Rivals* infuses the mode with a strong Chinese aesthetic, contrasting Overwatch's focus on the Olympic Games theme. This event also includes a complimentary Star-Lord costume, adding to the festive atmosphere.
