When traveling the galaxy in Eidos-Montréal's upcoming action-adventure RPG, Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy, you're going to be meeting quite a few familiar faces. Recent gameplay videos have already confirmed we'll be running into Grand Unifier Raker and Lady Hellbender, but certainly more fan-favorites await. One such character has been introduced in a new cinematic video from the game: Cosmo the space dog.
Cosmo is a former Soviet pooch who now serves as the Chief of Security for the space station Knowhere. Using a combination of psionic and telepathic abilities, Cosmo is able to communicate with humans, raccoons, trees, etc.
The latest cinematic clip drops us in the middle of a conversation between Cosmo and Peter Quill. We don't know exactly what led to the Guardians arriving at Knowhere, but it seems they all have a shared interest in getting to the bottom of a galactic mystery with Star-Lord. Unfortunately, the clip ends before we get to see any juicy stuff, but Cosmo will ultimately serve as an invaluable ally to the Guardians throughout their journey.
We do, however, get another glimpse of one of the RPG mechanics in the game as Star-Lord has the chance to "sell out rocket" or "stick together" when he's confronted about a Nova Tracker being on their ship. It looks like the decision will be up to the player, and your choice will impact your relationship with individual characters (in this case, Rocket).
Cosmo is many things: a telepathic dog, a loving dad to wonderful puppies, the Chief of Security in Knowhere and… angry with the Guardians of the Galaxy! Things are about to get ruff.
Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy is set to launch on October 26, 2021 for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PC, and streaming via GeForce NOW. A Cloud version of the game will also be available for Nintendo Switch.
