Marvelâs Guardians of the Galaxy gets a new video game as Square Enix, the studio behind the Marvelâs Avengers game, has released a gameplay trailer at the E3.
Worth a mention is that, similar to the Marvelâs Avengers game, this isnât a part of the MCU, so that is why Star-Lord doesnât look specifically like Chris Pratt and the characters are not voiced by the MCU actors.
The trailer also notes that it is âdevelopment footageâ and that it is âsubject to changeâ and that âfinal product subject to applicable platform limitations.â
Update: Dan Abnett, known for writing the 2008 Guardians of the Galaxy series for Marvel Comics, wrote the story for the game and reteamed with his then-editor, Bill Roseman, who is VP of Creative of Marvel Games.
Watch below and check out the official announcement.
âFire up Star-Lordâs jet boots for a wild ride across the cosmos in this third-person action-adventure game, a fresh take on Marvelâs Guardians of the Galaxy.
