Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT will become Guardians of the Galaxy – Monsters After Dark on September 1, 2023 and the overlay will remain through Halloween, October 31, 2023. Here is Disney’s description of the overlay:

Do you have what it takes to save Groot from crazed creatures on the loose?

Amid the chaos of the Guardians of the Galaxy’s rescue attempt, Groot got left behind. Even worse, the Collector’s Fortress is now mired in a total state of emergency—and overrun with menacing beasts.

Your objective? Team up with Rocket to return to the fortress, distract the monsters and escape with his buddy in tow—but proceed with caution. With the Guardians of the Galaxy involved, the plan is bound to run into a few unexpected ups and downs!
