Marvel Rivals just dropped this bombshell about new skins. Ultron and Groot are getting all dolled up with new looks launching on May 30. These aren’t just any skins—Ultron’s got this new “X-Tron” vibe, and Groot’s rocking something called “Yggroot.” I mean, who thinks of these names anyway? They look wild though.
But wait, there’s more to it! Ever heard of a map with a place called Arakko? It’s coming with this update too, along with some kind of Auto Chess mode. I’m not entirely sure what Auto Chess is, but it sounds intense. The mid-season update for Marvel Rivals Season 2 is shaping up to be an explosion of crazy stuff, including some wild gameplay changes. Remember last season when they rolled out that zombie Doctor Strange? Yeah, it seems like they’re not slowing down.
Hey, speaking of skins, remember that Punisher skin, the one with the whole samurai getup? I couldn’t help but laugh imagining Punisher in Japanese armor while Namor struts around in X-Men colors. It’s like they’re playing dress-up.
Oh, and quick note—Marvel Rivals spilled the beans on Twitter about these fancy new looks for Ultron and Groot. Expect Groot to look all silvery, kind of like a robot tree from that 2022 Mech Strike comic series. Ultron? This dude’s got an Iron Man-style arc reactor slapped on his chest, plus a red cape. How extra can you get?
Now, on pricing—no clue as of this moment. NetEase is keeping mum on that part, and whether there are other goodies coming with the skins. But patience, my friends. We’ll likely hear more as the big reveal date approaches.
But if you’re like me and crave more than just flashy skins, prepare yourself for the new map of Arakko to hit along with everything else on May 30. They’re diving into this whole new game mode—what did they call it? Something like a strategic chess game with an auto-play twist? Guess we’ll find out.
Just remember to tune in on May 30. Things are about to get chaotic in the Marvel Rivals universe.
