Marvel Rivals is launching a major Spring Festival event this Thursday! Players can snag a free Star-Lord costume and jump into 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 – another game mode inspired by Rocket League. This is a noteworthy comparison, considering Marvel Rivals' current position as a potential competitor to Overwatch. To establish its own identity, Marvel Rivals needs to develop unique content. However, this initial major event features a game mode strikingly similar to Overwatch's inaugural event. The key difference lies in the thematic presentation: Overwatch used an Olympic Games theme, while Marvel Rivals embraces a vibrant Chinese New Year atmosphere.
The Spring Festival event begins very soon, so get ready!
