Yggroot Groot: This Legendary rarity skin transforms the Vanguard Groot into the legendary tree Yggdrasill. His appearance boasts light gray bark with blue foliage and various colored orbs floating around his body. This skin will be priced at 2,200 Units. The lore suggests this version of Groot has reconnected the ten realms by becoming the new Yggdrasill.
Both the X-Tron Ultron and Yggroot Groot skins will be released in the game’s shop on May 30.
Additional Content and Events
Beyond the new skins, the Season 2.5 update includes:
- New Map – Arakko: This sister island to Krakoa, introduced in Season 2: Hellfire Gala, has been overrun by Ultron, giving it a desolate, machine-infested look.
- Galacta’s Gift Event: To celebrate the one-year anniversary of the game’s Closed Alpha, players can participate in this event. By playing three matches daily, gamers can claim free items on the reward track, including sprays, Chrono Shield Cards, and a free Costume Coin. This coin can be exchanged for an eligible skin for one of the original 33 heroes (skin only, not the full bundle).
- Cerebro Database 2 Event: Following the success of the first Cerebro Database event, which offered a free Mantis costume, this new iteration will allow players to earn the “Binary Arrow” skin for the Duelist Hawkeye. This mechanical makeover for Hawkeye is a result of a machine virus infection by Ultron.
With a continuous flow of new content from Netease Games, including characters, skins, and maps, the future of Marvel Rivals looks promising for fans of the hero shooter.
