Square Enix and Eidos-Montréal announced that gamers can (probably) save the universe in October with the upcoming release of Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy, a new third-party narrative action-adventure game inspired by over 50 years Guardians of the Universe lore.
“The Eidos-Montréal team is honored to work with our trusted staff at Marvel Entertainment on such an iconic franchise,” said David Anfossi, Head of Studio at Eidos-Montréal. “Our teams are known for revisiting IPs and putting their own twists on the stories and art around them. As you will experience, it is no different for Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy.”
“A distinct blend of sci-fi, family drama and rock n’ roll attitude with an edgy aesthetic is the foundation for our guards franchise,” added Jay Ong, EVP and head of Marvel Games. “We are delighted to partner with Eidos-Montréal knowing that they are the team that can deliver on this core promise. The team’s laser-focused vision for our beloved band of misfits shines in Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy. We’re excited for our fans to play it in October.”
