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

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

While the mode's similarities to Rocket League are undeniable, it actually bears a closer resemblance to Overwatch's Lucioball—the first special game mode in that title, also inspired by Rocket League. This comparison is particularly interesting, as Marvel Rivals is currently striving to establish its own unique identity and differentiate itself from Overwatch. The Spring Festival event, featuring a mode echoing Overwatch's early offerings, presents a curious juxtaposition. However, instead of an Olympic Games theme, Marvel Rivals adds a vibrant Chinese New Year twist.

The best news? The Spring Festival event begins very soon!
