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 similarity is particularly noteworthy given Marvel Rivals' current trajectory. The game has arguably surpassed Overwatch in popularity, and this event presents an opportunity to solidify its unique identity and differentiate itself from its Blizzard counterpart. While both modes share core mechanics, Marvel Rivals infuses its version with a distinctly Chinese New Year theme, contrasting with Lucioball's Olympic Games setting.

The excitement is building, and the Spring Festival event begins very soon!
