Marvel Rivals Kicks Off Lunar Celebration with Spring Festival

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 remind some of Rocket League, it bears a closer resemblance to Overwatch's Lucioball – another Rocket League-inspired mode. This is a noteworthy comparison, considering Marvel Rivals' current position as a potential competitor to Overwatch. To establish its unique identity and differentiate itself from Blizzard's title, Marvel Rivals needs to cultivate its own distinctive content. The introduction of a mode so similar to Overwatch's inaugural event, albeit with a Chinese New Year theme instead of an Olympic theme, is an interesting strategic choice.

The good news is the Spring Festival event begins very soon, so players won't have to wait long to experience it.
