Dataminers Discover Kraken Fight and New Mode in Marvel Rivals Files

Exciting news for *Marvel Rivals* fans! Renowned dataminer X0X_Leaks has unearthed hints of an upcoming PvE mode in the game's files post the next update. This mode will feature a thrilling battle against the formidable boss, Kraken. Although the monster model currently boasts animations, high-resolution textures are yet to be added. To give players a sneak peek, the dataminer has introduced the Kraken into the game using its size parameters from the game files, providing a glimpse of what this epic confrontation might look like.

In other *Marvel Rivals* news, the game has unveiled the specifics of its grand Spring Festival event, kicking off this Thursday. Players can dive into a unique game mode, the Clash of Dancing Lions, where teams of three will compete to score a ball into their opponent's goal. Adding to the festivities, participants will receive a complimentary Star-Lord costume. This mode bears a striking resemblance to Lucioball, the inaugural special game mode in *Overwatch*, which itself drew inspiration from *Rocket League*. Despite the obvious similarities to *Rocket League*, the *Marvel Rivals* event showcases a strong Chinese influence, setting it apart from *Overwatch*'s Olympic-themed event.

This comparison is particularly noteworthy because *Marvel Rivals* seems to be carving its niche in the competitive gaming landscape, aiming to surpass *Overwatch* by delivering fresh and original content. However, the introduction of a game mode reminiscent of *Overwatch*'s first event raises questions about the game's originality. While *Marvel Rivals* borrows the concept of a special game mode, it distinguishes itself with a unique cultural flair, suggesting a promising direction for future updates and events.
