Guardians of the Galaxy
Guardians of the Galaxy: The Telltale Series is an episodic graphic adventure video game series developed and published by Telltale Games.
Based on Marvel Comics' Guardians of the Galaxy comic book series, the game's first episode was released in April 18, 2017.
The plot centers on the Guardians finding an artifact of great power that each individually covets, but must protect it from the malicious
Kree Hala the Accuser who wants it for herself.
Guardians of the Galaxy plays similar to other Telltale games, in which the player's character talks to other characters, explore environments
and interact with objects within it, and at times, complete action sequences made up of quick time events. Players make choices, such as dialog
selection, that create determinants within the story affecting later actions within the episode and in future episodes. Within the series, the player
primarily plays as Star-Lord, but may at times briefly take the role of another Guardian during action sequences, or, during specific times, play as
another character in a flashback.
Telltale's Guardians was first revealed during the December 2016 Game Awards,[6] though rumors of the game had been previously
found in material released by SAG-AFTRA actors as part of the 2016 video game voice actor strike in November.
The game's first of five episodes was released on April 18, 2017; in additional to digital downloads, a retail version will be
available for the first episode release with an online pass to acquire the other episodes once released; this is expected to be
released on May 2, 2017 in North America and May 5, 2017 in Europe.
Telltale hosted a panel about the game at the 2017 PAX East event in Boston, MA in March 2017, as well as having the first episode available
for a "crowd play" session during the 2017 South by Southwest event.
On the outskirts of an long abandoned planet, the Guardians receive a call from the Nova Corps asking them to help defeat Thanos (Jake Hart).
After being shot down by the mad titan's ship, they arrive at a Kree outpost where they find him in the lower section of the building,
the Nova Corps having been killed during the battle. In the lower section of the building, Thanos finds an artifact called the Eternity
Forge and claims it for his own. The Guardians engage him in battle, ending with Star-Lord (Scott Porter) killing him with a weapon created
by Rocket (Nolan North). They celebrate at Knowhere, where several members of the team consider leaving.
Telltale and Marvel partnered to develop the game, quickly establishing that they wanted to make an original story that used the character's
canon but was not tied to the 2014 film. Telltale decided to go against an origins story, and instead focused on the connections between each
of the five Guardians. Described by Marvel's Bil Rosemann, "A good Guardians story is about them as a family and showing how they're all misfits,
they're all underdogs, they all feel like they don't have a family anymore" and coming together to form their own family that they depend on.
Telltale saw this as well as elements from the established character histories to find "potentially surprising" elements to include, according
to Telltale producer Justin Lambros.[5] To achieve this, they planned each episode to center around each Guardian and explore their past, though
the player will primarily remain in the role of Star-Lord throughout the series. This approach was novel for Telltale, since the character interactions
that the player opts for in earlier episodes can have a stronger impact on the later episodes, particularly in the relationship between the other Guardians.
Telltale and Marvel's goal was to make the story accessible to people who may not have read through the comic series but had seen the film, while still
dropping in hints and Easter eggs referring the Guardians' history in the comics to long-time fans.
