Guardians of the Galaxy Game Coming From Telltale

As rumored, Telltale Games is working on game based on Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy. The project was announced tonight during The Game Awards 2016.

It's not a total surprise, as Telltale first announced it was making a Marvel game back in 2015. And in November this year, GameSpot and other sites heard from sources that it would be a Guardians of the Galaxy title.

There will be five episodes in all in Telltale's Guardians of the Galaxy series, the first of which will debut in 2017 for consoles, PC, and mobile devices.

"The energizing blend of humor, emotion, teamwork, and full-on sci-fi action-adventure of the Guardians provides an enormously satisfying space to explore through Telltale's unique style of interactive storytelling," Telltale CEO Kevin Bruner said in a statement. "In Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy: The Telltale Series, players will take on multiple roles within the ragtag band of heroes, and take the pilot's seat in directing their escapades around the universe. We are always honored to be working with the best creative partners and storytellers in entertainment, and working with Marvel on this series leaves us excited to share what we've been developing when it premieres in 2017."

Telltale's Marvel series also be available on a disc at retail.

The next Guardians of the Galaxy movie, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2, is slated to come to theaters in April 2017.
