Eidos-Montréal has revealed a brand-new, high-octane TV spot to set the stage for next week’s official launch of Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy. In the trailer, we're dropped straight into the middle of a mid-battle Huddle, where Star-Lord, Gamora, Drax, Rocket and Groot assess the situation, discuss strategy and, of course, banter before deciding to go with Plan B: an all-out, coordinated assault appropriately fueled by Mötley Crüe’s "Kickstart My Heart."
This same Huddle mechanic will prove essential for Guardians of the Galaxy players as they fight to overcome seemingly impossible odds throughout their journey across the galaxy. In the game, players will be able to call a Huddle during combat and choose which motivational words to offer the team. If chosen correctly, all of the Guardians will receive a powerup, making it easier for them to bang enemy heads while listening to one of the game’s 30 headbanging tracks.
Guardians of the Galaxy is a single-player action-adventure game featuring an all-new story. You play as Star-Lord, a former space pirate and resistance hero, now leader of the Guardians of the Galaxy. As the logline points out, it's "Time to show the universe what your band of legendary misfits is made of. You got this. Probably."
Guardians of the Galaxy is set to be released on October 26, 2021 on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PC and streaming via GeForce NOW. If you pre-order now, then you'll be able to obtain an early unlock of the Throwback Guardians Outfit Pack. Guardians of the Galaxy: Cloud Version for Nintendo Switch will also arrive on October 26.
