NetEase's Marvel Rivals continues to draw comparisons to Overwatch 2, particularly with its new Spring Festival event. The event heavily resembles Overwatch's Lunar New Year and Lucioball celebrations, incorporating similar skins, a new game mode, and traditional Chinese New Year imagery.
Acknowledging the widespread comparisons between Marvel Rivals and Overwatch 2 , this article delves into the striking similarities between the two games, particularly evident in Rivals' new seasonal events . The Spring Festival, launching on January 23, bears a strong resemblance to a fusion of Overwatch's Lunar New Year and Lucioball events. Three character skins, one each for Star-Lord, Iron Fist, and Black Widow, are introduced, reflecting traditional Chinese attire.
A new game mode, Clash of Dancing Lions, mirrors the 3v3 soccer format of Lucioball. NetEase, a Chinese company, understandably incorporates the celebration of the Chinese New Year into the game. However, the event's resemblance to Overwatch's established traditions since 2017 raises eyebrows, especially considering the ongoing criticism Marvel Rivals faces for its Overwatch-inspired elements. Despite these concerns, the article acknowledges Marvel Rivals' recent success in surpassing Overwatch's popularity. The Spring Festival trailer showcases the new skins and the Clash of Dancing Lions mode, revealing that Star-Lord's cosmetics will be available as free rewards. The article concludes by mentioning the ongoing Season 1 of Marvel Rivals, which has introduced two Fantastic Four heroes and promises to add more in future updates. The author expresses personal enjoyment playing as Mister Fantastic, despite community perceptions of his character's weakness
