According to the content creator Miller Ross on Twitter, this is a legendary skin that will cost players 2,200 Units when it appears in the store on May 30.

Marvel Rivals’ ‘Yggroot’ Skin for Groot Arrives May 30

Groot isn't the only hero getting a new skin, as the upcoming playable character Ultron in Marvel Rivals will be receiving a costume called X-Tron. It's an original design created for the popular hero shooter that shows the Strategist with a golden body and glowing red cape. According to Miller Ross, this skin is considered to be Epic rarity and will cost 1,600 Units when it arrives in the story on May 30. Ultron will be making his debut on the same day. As the game's newest Strategist, he will have the ability to deal significant amounts of damage to his foes while healing and providing support to his allies.

In addition to fresh skins, the 2.5 update will include a new map called Arakko in Marvel Rivals. Arrako is the sister island of Krakoa, which was introduced at the beginning of Season 2: Hellfire Gala. Unlike Krakoa, Arakko has been taken over by the villain Ultron, giving the setting a lifeless and machine-infested appearance. With so much content to enjoy and even more on the way, many fans are feeling optimistic about the future of Marvel Rivals.
