Eidos-Montréal has shared a new trailer that sheds a little more light on the out-of-this-world narrative adventure that awaits in Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy. Set in the wake of an epic conflict known as the Galactic War, the game invites players to walk a lightyear in Peter Quill’s jet boots and lead his band of misfit heroes-for-hire across the cosmos in search of glory, riches and a way out of whatever mess they’ve gotten themselves into this time.
In this latest sneak peek, we see Grand Unifier Raker bring Star-Lord, Drax, Gamora, Rocket and Groot to the Universal Church of Truth, where the Guardians bear witness to a cult-like ritual before the mysterious Matriarch. Grand Unifier Raker states that the Matriarch wishes to share with them a truth...one that can supposedly end all grief and suffering.
However, in true Guardians fashion, things go spectacularly sideways and they somehow manage to get half the galaxy on their back. Now, the Guardians will have to step up and show what they are made of to save the Galaxy. Look closely, and you'll also notice some newly revealed characters, including the Xandarian Worldmind, and the fan-favourite telepathic Russian space dog, Cosmo.
Oh, and if you're wondering what that catchy tune is, it's a new track from the Star-Lord Band, titled "Space Riders (With No Names)." Star-Lord is the name of Peter Quill’s favourite rock band in this universe, and it's them who eventually inspire his iconic moniker.
Guardians of the Galaxy will be available on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One, PC, and streaming via GeForce NOW on October 26, 2021. Check out this awesome new trailer for the game below:
