Instead, they’ll use a selection wheel to launch powerful attacks from their teammates.įor example, while players are using Star-Lord’s jet boots to fly around the battlefield, simultaneously shooting enemies with his elemental blasters, he can trigger Drax to lay the smackdown on whichever enemy the player is targeting. Players will control Star-Lord and won’t be able to switch between characters. So how will Guardians of the Galaxy play, and what sets it apart from Marvel’s: Avengers? First, Guardians of the Galaxy is 100% single-player. We’ll highlight these in the next section. However, the two games have their distinct differences. Watching the trailers above may cause Marvel fans, disappointed by Marvel’s: Avengers, to worry. In Square Enix fashion, Guardians maintains an action/RPG aesthetic with multiple waves of enemies for Star-Lord and his team to defeat. Unifier Raker’s Church of Universal Truth is causing a stir in the Galaxy, becoming something of a thorn in Cosmo’s paw. Cosmo has a problem that he needs the Guardians’ help to solve. He acts as the chief of security in Knowhere, and he’s got a bone to pick with the Guardians (pun intended). From what we’re seeing so far, it looks like Unifier Raker is at the center of the game’s overall plot, which is further explained in the Guardians of the Galaxy story trailer.įinally, and perhaps the most adorable new edition to Guardians of the Galaxy, is Cosmo the space dog! Cosmo is a labrador retriever who wears a spacesuit and talks with a thick Russian accent. We’ve also gotten a few shorter trailers revealing Guardians of the Galaxy’s main antagonists, Lady Hellbender, and Unifier Raker. For more, you can also watch a short inside look video. Anything backed by Motely Crue’s “Kickstart my Heart” (which seems to be going through something of a rebirth in today’s pop culture) is sure to be a wild ride. Both give us a pretty decent look at what players can expect from Guardians of the Galaxy. We currently have several trailers to work off - the official release trailer (above) and a 10-minute gameplay trailer linked here. Switch players will not have access to the deluxe version of the game as it will only be available to them in standard form. It will only be available in digital form via the Switch shop. You will not be able to buy a physical copy of Guardians of the Galaxy for the Nintendo Switch. As current-gen consoles are still tricky to find, you can rest assured that Guardians of the Galaxy will come with a free upgrade from PS4/Xbox One to PS5/Xbox Series X|S There will also be a Cloud version of the game for Nintendo Switch.

Guardians of the Galaxy will be available on October 26, 2021, for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC.
