Years ago, a video game related to the Guardians of the Galaxy was leaked. This was actually officially announced this evening. The release will take place in 2021.
Square Enix also has its own show on the occasion of E3 and kicked off its next big title with Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy. The game about the Marvel superheroes had already been leaked in 2017, but it was only today that the game was officially presented by Eidos Montréal (including Deus Ex).
Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy is the next big game project after Marvel’s Avengers as part of the partnership between Square Enix and Marvel. It is a third-person action adventure with a single player focus. It will be released on October 26, 2021 on the PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X | S platforms.
In the title you will take on the role of Star-Lord aka Peter Quill. You are allowed to roam the universe and explore the cosmic side of the Marvel universe. Power blasters, jet boots and more are available to you to take on the numerous opponents. Of course, the humor that is known for the brand should not be missing. In the battles you can use commands to instruct Gamora, Groot, Rocket and Drax to launch their own attacks or use special skills.
The story was written especially for the game and is based primarily on the existing comic book universe. It is explicitly not an adaptation of the movies. And another piece of information was already made public about the announcement: Eidos Montréal and Square Enix do not provide for DLC content or microtransactions for the game. Rather, Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy should be a classic single player experience.
