For many, it’s the best kind of Marvel and Telltale Games obviously agree as they announce their latest interactive episodic game series.
Based on Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy (if you hadn’t already guessed), the latest Telltale series will arrive on consoles, PC and the good old mobile device in 2017. A five parter, it promises to mix humour, emotion, teamwork and some hardcore sci-fi action, all with the usual unique Telltale take on things. Premiering digitally, you’ll also be able to pick up the now standard Season Pass disc.
“The energizing blend of humor, emotion, teamwork, and full-on sci-fi action-adventure of the Guardians provides an enormously satisfying space to explore through Telltale’s unique style of interactive storytelling,” said Kevin Bruner, Co-Founder and CEO of Telltale Games. “In Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy: The Telltale Series, players will take on multiple roles within the ragtag band of heroes, and take the pilot’s seat in directing their escapades around the universe. We are always honored to be working with the best creative partners and storytellers in entertainment, and working with Marvel on this series leaves us excited to share what we’ve been developing when it premieres in 2017.”
“With story at the core of everything that Marvel creates, who better to team with than master storytellers Telltale Games,” said Jay Ong, Senior Vice President, Games & Innovation, Marvel Entertainment. “Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy: The Telltale Series fully showcases Marvel and Telltale’s rich legacy of storytelling, and fans will find themselves immersed in an original, character-driven narrative. As part of our strategy to establish a new standard for Marvel games, this is certainly among the great titles to come.”
With Batman under their belt and the latest season of The Walking Dead soon to hit home, we’re pretty sure that Guardians of the Galaxy will be safe in the hands of Telltale. We certainly can’t wait for it to drop and we will as always keep you fully up-to-date with matters.
