Summary
A prominentMarvel Rivalsleaker recently shared new footage of an unreleased skin for the character Groot. As the game’s Winter Celebration event nears its end, rumors and leaks have many fans wondering what’s coming next for the popular hero shooter. With Season 1 ofMarvel Rivalsofficially launching in January, some players are expecting big things.
Groot is one ofMarvel Rivals' Vanguard characters, which means he has a fairly large health pool and a unique set of abilities to help him protect his allies. While running around the battlefield, Groot can put up walls that block enemy damage and provide cover for allies. In addition to summoning defensive barriers, the hero can create offensive walls that attack nearby enemies. Groot also has team-up abilities with Rocket Raccoon and Jeff the Land Shark, allowing the Strategist heroes to ride on his shoulder. While Vanguards provide essential defensive benefits to a team’s composition, they’re far outnumbered by Duelists. Fortunately, a recent leak suggested thatThe Thing may be coming toMarvel Rivalsas a Vanguard, which would bolster the number of tanks in the game.
Ina recent post on Twitter, RivalsInfo shared gameplay footage of a new skin supposedly called Rusted Groot. The cosmetic shows the hero with muted brown bark instead of his typically vibrant look. Bits of barbed wire appear to be wrapped around his arms, legs, and waist. A lantern hangs from his makeshift belt and bits of dull purple cloth drape across his neck and back. He also appears to have a word carved into his left arm, though it’s difficult to make out the letters in the video. RivalsInfo has been busy sharing a wide variety of leaks lately, even showing offa new skin forMarvel Rivals' Bruce Banner titled Wasteland Hulk.

Many fans are excited to see the game expand its offerings so soon after launch, especially sinceMarvel Rivalsjust recently released winter-themed skins for Magik, Venom, Rocket Raccoon, and Groot.
Leakers have been busy rummaging through the game’s files for information to share with the community and have found a lot more than just skins. They’ve also uncovered data regardingnew maps, characters, and team-ups coming toMarvel Rivals.
