New Groot Skin For Marvel Rivals Will Have Players Battling Across The Galaxy

As a hardcore Marvel fan who’s followed the cinematic universe since its inception, I can’t contain my excitement for the upcoming release of Marvel Rivals next year! The latest leak revealing Groot as the next Rivals Assemble video character was just the cherry on top of an already stacked roster.


Six days have passed since the worldwide timer started for the upcoming team-based shooter game, Marvel Rivals, scheduled to launch on consoles and PCs in December 2024. The developer, NetEase Games, is gathering an extensive collection of heroes and villains from various universes. Consequently, they’ve been releasing promotional videos showcasing the unique abilities and talents of each character.

Regrettably for the game developer, they unintentionally disclosed the hero of Day Six in the latest Rivals Assemble video, which features Groot from the Vanguard class. However, players have been guessing about this upcoming announcement for the “tree-like alien being,” and now we no longer need to ponder as it’s officially confirmed.

Due to an unintended leak by NetEase Games, players worldwide had to stay awake till 12 am UTC to discover what the upcoming announcement for Guardians of the Galaxy members would show. Among them, the popular character Groot, a powerful and lively sentient alien tree, was eagerly awaited. Similar to past heroes such as Rocket Raccoon and Thor (the Asgardian God of Thunder), Groot’s unique skin is expected to be based on his look from the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).

Similar to Rocket Raccoon, the initial appearance of Groot in the game corresponds to his character in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Players who have followed Groot’s journey within the MCU will recognize why this lively skin was chosen for the beloved character. However, all we can say is, “I Am Groot!

Counting down the days till December 2024 when Marvel Rivals drops on PCs, PlayStation, and Xbox! Excitedly, at launch and beyond, we’ll have access to all the announced heroes like Captain America, Winter Soldier Bucky Barnes, and Psylocke – no charge needed! Still keeping tabs on how to snag those new skins in-game; stay tuned for a future article detailing acquisition methods before the big day.
