Dataminers Uncover Kraken Fight and New Mode in Marvel Rivals Files

Exciting news for Marvel Rivals enthusiasts—reliable dataminer X0X_Leaks has unearthed hints of an upcoming PvE mode in the game's files following the next update. Players will have the thrilling opportunity to battle the formidable boss, Kraken. While the monster model currently boasts animations, high-resolution textures are yet to be added. To give fans a glimpse of what's to come, the dataminer has creatively added the Kraken to a match using its size parameters found within the game files.

In other Marvel Rivals news, the details of the much-anticipated Spring Festival event have been unveiled. Starting this Thursday, players can dive into a unique game mode and snag a complimentary Star-Lord costume. In the "Clash of Dancing Lions" mode, teams of three will engage in a spirited competition, aiming to score a ball into the opponent's goal. This mode bears a striking resemblance to Lucioball, the inaugural special game mode from Overwatch, which itself draws inspiration from Rocket League. Although many might draw parallels with Rocket League, the similarities to Lucioball are undeniable.

This comparison sparks curiosity because Marvel Rivals is positioning itself to surpass Overwatch, striving to deliver as much original content as possible to set itself apart from Blizzard's creation. However, its first major event introduces a mode that echoes the original Overwatch event. The key difference lies in the cultural flavor; Marvel Rivals infuses a strong Chinese influence, contrasting with Overwatch's Olympic Games aesthetic.
