The chaotic troop around Star-Lord Peter Quill, Rocket, Gamora, Drax, and Groot are experiencing a brand new adventure! The action RPG Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy was announced on Square Enix’s E3 show and the first gameplay is already showing that fans of the films will immediately recognize the humor.

Marvel fans can get the Guardians of the Galaxy adventures on PlayStation and Xbox

After Square Enix has already brought a title around the Avengers to the consoles, it is now the turn of the Galaxy Guardians. In an original adventure written just for the game, Star-Lord and Co. get to do with the villain Lady Hellbender (known from the comics) and fight their way through galactic groups of opponents.

At least since the movie series, which started in 2014, the “Guardians of the Galaxy” have arrived in pop culture and enjoy great popularity, not only thanks to their cheeky humor. The characters in the new video game offshoot are even somewhat reminiscent of the movies, although the makers at Eidos Montreal emphasize creating their own version. The unmistakable humor should of course not be missing.

Single-player without microtransactions: “Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy” will be a pure single-player adventure and there will be no microtransactions or online connections. DLCs are also not planned.

Raccoon throwing? In addition, we see in the first gameplay video that we are often asked to make decisions in an adventure. Depending on how you choose, this affects the team dynamics. Rocket can get mad at you if you just throw him over a dangerous canyon.

Soundtrack to rock out: The soundtrack is really strong, comes along with a decent 80’s flair, and can be heard, for example, Bonnie Tyler or Kiss. This is obviously going to be a fantastic rock soundtrack!
