Summary

  • Marvel Rivals' first Spring Festival event launches tomorrow, adding a suspiciously familiar 3v3 football LTM.
  • It's Lucioball. C'mon.

168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Marvel Rivals just unveiled its first Spring Festival event with a brand-new tr🌱ailer, and—wait a minute, is that Lucioball?

The biggest addition to the season is a new 3v3 football limited-time mode (or 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:soccer for the Yanks) played with Iron Fist, Black Widow, and Star-Lord. Sure, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Overwatch didn't invent football, but a) the arena looks near-identical, and b) it's a 3v3 LTM in a game ဣkꦏnown for apeing Overwatch.

It's Lucioball, c'mon.

However, the LTM in Marvel Rivals is call♏ed Clash of Dancing Lions, lending to the Lunar New Year theme (ie Spring Festival or Chinese New Year).

But the lion doesn't appear in the Lunar Zodiac whatsoever (the closest is a tiger). 2025 is actually the Year of the Wood Snake, which is why 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Overwatch's Lunar New Year event is themed around snakes, with hide-and-seek battles that allow you to transform into props, doubl♍e ju💝mp, and scale walls.

It's more likely that Rivals is basing its Lunar 🌳New Year on the iconic Lion Dances that are performed during the annual ceremonies, which in fairness is a stark difference from Overwatch's approach. But it would've been a perfect opportunity for some Serpent Society and Loki-themed s🌺kins, I'm just saying.

What Else Is Included In Marvel Rivals Spring Festival?

Given the lion theme, there are a few skins to match: St🌞ar-Lord: Lion's Mane, which can be earned for free, and two paid store cosmetics, Iron Fist: Lion's Gaze﷽ and Black Widow: Lion's Heartbeat.

We don't know much else about the event right now (other than the scant details on ), but it starts tomorrow at 9am UTC, so we won't have to wait long to dig i🦩nto it for ourselves.
