Marvels Guardians of the Galaxy How Groot Met Rocket

Eidos Montreal has created unique backstories for each character in Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy, with one centering around how Rocket met his best friend Groot. From its ’80s-inspired soundtrack implemented into gameplay to character dynamics, everything that has been shown concerning the new game seems to point towards the development team understanding the GotG source material. This extends into the backstories and designs of each character as well, with Eidos Montreal putting their own spin on how the team ended up together.

In Eidos Montreal’s original GotG universe, the Chitauri started a Galactic War 12 years before the events of the game. This War had a drastic impact on the expansive galaxy, with its consequences reaching each member of the Guardians in turn. Both Rocket and Groot were affected by this War in completely different ways, but this did not stop them from eventually meeting up later in life.

Senior Creative Director Jean-Francois Dugas talked more about these unique backstories and Guardians of the Galaxy character designs in a PlayStation blog post this week, saying that the team was given free reign by Marvel to “craft our own take on this band of misfits.” They began looking into the past comics and movies to get a better understand of what made each character work. After extensive research, Dugas said that the team was able to “reimagine them in a fresh and faithful way.”

Rocket Meets Groot Unexpectedly On A Job

Rocket maintains his status as Guardians of the Galaxy’s genetically-engineered raccoon from the movies and comics, but he was actually born on Halfworld during the War in the GotG game instead of being transported there by scientists. Using his increased levels of intelligence, Rocket was able to escape his captors and take up residence in Knowhere. He proceeded to begin working odd jobs for people around the galaxy, which led him to meeting Groot.

Groot is depicted as a sole survivor of the Flora Colossi race, with his home planet being destroyed by the Chitauri forces during the Galactic War. Sustaining injuries during the destruction, Groot’s remains were eventually found by search drones owned by Taneleer Tivan, who is better known as The Collector. Groot regrew while imprisoned in The Collector’s home, when one fateful day saw his eventual friend Rocket arrive on a job. Rocket proceeded to save the tree-like organism from The Collector’s clutches, and the two began exploring the galaxy together as bounty hunters for the following 10 years. One particular job saw them hunting down Star-Lord himself, who persuaded them to join the Guardians by paying them double the bounty on his head.

This is a justifiable take on how Rocket met Groot, featuring Rocket’s propensity for doing mercenary work leading him to a familiar Marvel character’s home to unexpectedly find his eventual best friend. It’s nice for Marvel fans to get a concrete backstory for how Rocket and Groot became friends, as the Guardians of the Galaxy movies don’t dive very deeply into their origins. It will be interesting to see how Eidos Montreal handles Rocket and Groot’s relationship when Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy releases.
