Obsessed with Marvel Rivals? We are very much so. NetEase's counterpoint to Overwatch and so many hero shooters joins the Lunar New Year celebrations with its own event, which means more costumes inspired by Eastern tradition, more rewards and a limited-time mode that starts imminently: Clash of Dancing Lions. Or, if you prefer, the equivalent of Rocket League (and Blizzard's Lúciobol) starring Marvel superheroes.
First things first: the arrival of the mode Clash of Dancing Lions is scheduled for next January 23 at 10:00 in the morning in Europe (01:00 PST) as part of the Spring Festival celebration, promoting soccer games throughout Shaolin Soccer in three-on-three games with giant balls and goals of gigantic proportions. And now comes the most interesting thing: what is at stake?
Throughout the Spring Festival It will be possible to get a gallery of thematic images based on the Lunar New Year and that we can add to our collection of albums in the game, in addition to different free thematic rewards among which stands out Star Lord's new look with the typical Chinese dragon mask. And he is not the only one who will dress for the occasion.
Taking advantage of the event, NetEase has shown several of the new features that will arrive this week at Marvel Rivals, including gestures, victories and, of course, themed and new outfits for Iron Fist and Black Widow. All in all, we suspect that these last two will arrive directly at the game store.
What we are clear about is that Marvel Rivals does not waste time: it came out on December 4, 2025 started launching nothing less than a season and two new heroes and in February we await the arrival of The Human Torch and The Thing of the Fantastic Four. A brutal pace even within the dynamics of Hero Shooters. Of course, players will have even more and better excuses to unlock and advance in the season passes.
When will Deadpool arrive in Marvel Rivals? Despite the more than promising leaks, at this rate we will see it sooner rather than later and it is clear that the player banned for 100 years is going to have a rough time during the first few months.
