Square Enix and developer Eidos Montreal released today the launch trailer for the highly-anticipated Marvel’s Guardian of the Galaxy.
Marvel’s Guardian of the Galaxy is a third-person action-adventure game that puts players in the feet of Starlord as he and other guardians fight off a total interplanetary meltdown. Fans who have played Marvel’s Avengers will find similarities to Eidos’ latest piece of art.
Here’s an overview of the game, via Square Enix:
Fire up a wild ride across the cosmos with a fresh take on Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy. In this third-person action-adventure game, you are Star-Lord, and thanks to your bold yet questionable leadership, you have persuaded an oddball crew of unlikely heroes to join you. Some jerk (surely not you) has set off a chain of catastrophic events, and only you can hold the unpredictable Guardians together long enough to fight off total interplanetary meltdown. Use Element Blasters, tag-team beat downs, jet boot-powered dropkicks, nothing’s off-limits. If you think it’s all going to plan, you’re in for a world of surprises, with the consequences of your actions guaranteed to keep the Guardians on their toes. In this original Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy story, you’ll cross paths with powerful new beings and unique takes on iconic characters, all caught in a struggle for the galaxy’s fate. It’s time to show the universe what you’re made of. You got this. Probably.
