Marvel Rivals follows the footsteps of Overwatch with its Spring Festival event

Marvel Rivals' Spring Festival event kicks off this Thursday! Get ready for a free Star-Lord costume and a brand-new game mode: Clash of Dancing Lions. This 3v3 mode challenges teams to score a ball in their opponent's goal.

While the gameplay might evoke comparisons to Rocket League, it bears a closer resemblance to Overwatch's Lucioball – a testament to the enduring appeal of this style of game. This comparison is particularly interesting, as Marvel Rivals is currently outpacing Overwatch in popularity and needs to establish its unique identity. Introducing a mode so similar to Overwatch's inaugural event is a curious choice, though the Marvel Rivals version boasts a distinctly Chinese New Year theme, unlike Overwatch's Olympic Games setting.

The exciting news is that the Spring Festival event begins very soon!
