Video: Sure, the mad Titan himself might seem like the real enemy here, but really, the true enemy Peter Quill and the gang face is the universe’s slowest elevator ride.
After teasing it for quite some time, Telltale Games has released our first good look at their Guardians of the Galaxy adventure game, in the vein of their Batman or The Walking Dead titles, just… you know. In space.
The trailer doesn’t really offer much in the way of story beyond the obvious: Thanos has come to wreak havoc upon the Nova Force, and only the Guardians can help stop him, with the power of pure determination and some licensed pop music. So basically, it’s trying to ape the vibe of the movie — or Brian Michael Bendis’ post-movie comics, as much as it can. Hopefully beyond emulating that vibe, Telltale’s foray in the Marvel Universe can give us something as refreshingly free of the restraints of comics canon as their Batman series was.
The first of five episodes in the series, “Tangled Up in Blue”, will be available on Xbox One, PS4, PC, Mac and mobile devices on April 18.
