Trusted dataminer X0X_Leaks uncovered hints of a PvE mode in Marvel Rivals' upcoming update, featuring a boss battle against a kraken. The creature’s model includes animations but lacks high-resolution textures.

The dataminer integrated the kraken into a match using its size data from the game files, giving players a glimpse of its potential appearance:

Marvel Rivals announced details for its vibrant Spring Festival event, launching this Thursday. It introduces a unique game mode and a free Star-Lord costume. In Clash of Dancing Lions, teams of three aim to score a ball in the opponent’s goal.

This mode resembles Lucioball, Overwatch’s initial special mode inspired by Rocket League, though many will draw parallels to Rocket League itself for obvious reasons.

The comparison is notable since Marvel Rivals seems to have surpassed Overwatch and strives to deliver original content to stand out from Blizzard’s title. Yet, its first major event mirrors Overwatch’s original mode. The key difference lies in Marvel Rivals’ strong Chinese cultural flair, contrasting with Overwatch’s Olympic Games theme.
