If you’re interested in learning more about Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy after watching this video, be sure to read our\u00a012-page cover story<\/a>. Here’s a brief snippet that sets up the game’s story:<\/p>\n

In Marvel\u2019s Guardians of the Galaxy, Eidos-Montr\u00e9al\u00a0is sticking with the team of heroes people have come to adore. At a quick glance, all five characters are immediately recognizable, but if you take just a few more seconds to truly soak each in, you\u2019ll notice they are slightly different than their film and comic counterparts. Heavy inspiration is drawn from those versions, but Eidos\u2019 take is new. Each hero\u2019s silhouette is what you expect it to be, but their attire, hair, and facial features have been reinvented. As you get to know the alternate versions of these coin-chasing spacegoers, you\u2019ll see their motivations and backstories may be different as well. <\/p>\n

Over the course of the next week,\u00a0Game Informer<\/em>\u00a0will publish a heap of exclusive behind-the-scenes\u00a0interviews with key members of Eidos-Montr\u00e9al about how they’re bringing this team of misfits to life. While you wait, be sure to check out our\u00a0Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy coverage hub<\/a>, where you’ll find articles, podcasts, and videos all about the game. Don’t want to hear anything else about the game before it releases? Well, you won’t have to wait long since it launches on October 26, 2021.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
