The release date for video game developer Telltale Games' forthcomingGuardians of the Galaxytitle leaks on the Internet thanks to an online retailer’s listing.
A couple of months ago, a listing forMarvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy: The Telltale Seriesconfirmed it as beingthe Marvel video game Telltale planned for 2017after the union behind October’s SAG-AFTRA strike updated a list of games on its website that were not impacted by the strike. Now, it seems as if yet another major announcement for the forthcoming title is being made by an unintentional listing, with GameStop having shown on its website thatMarvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy: The Telltale Seriesis slated for a release on July 29, 2025.
As of now,GameStop has since scrubbed the release dateforMarvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy: The Telltale Seriesfrom the listing, with the video game retailer currently not showing a launch date at all. Nevertheless, that didn’t stop some fans from being able to secure photographic evidence of the company showing the title as having an April release, as outlets such asWWG took a screenshot of the original listing.
In addition to GameStop potentially outingMarvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy:The Telltale Series' release date, the video game retailer has also published the forthcoming title’s synopsis on its website. Since the description of the plot only covers the narrative on a surface level, we’ve decided to post the summary of theGuardian of the Galaxygame’s story below the next image. Of course, should one wish to avoid spoilers of any kind, it would be best to stop reading altogether right here.
Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy: The Telltale Seriesdelivers a brand new story of the universe’s unlikeliest heroes, the rag-tag band of outlaws who go by the names Star-Lord, Gamora, Drax, Rocket, and Groot.
In the wake of an epic battle, the Guardians discover an artifact of unspeakable power. Each of the Guardians has a reason to desire this relic, as does a ruthless enemy who is the last of her kind, and who will stop at nothing to tear it from their hands.
From Earth to the Milano to Knowhere and beyond, and set to the beat of awesome music, this five-part episodic series puts you in the rocket-powered boots of Star-Lord in an original Guardians adventure, told in the unique and award-winning Telltale style, where your decisions and actions will drive the path of the story you experience.
Although it has yet to be confirmed, there’s the possibility that the plot forMarvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy: The Telltale Seriescould touch on events before or after the comic book company’s upcoming film sequel ofGuardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.Plus, should the GameStop listing for the video game’s release date be correct, it would have the Telltale title launching about a week before the movie’s theatrical release in May.
Beyond the plot points posted above, not much else is known in regards to the contents ofMarvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy: The Telltale Series. As a matter of fact, as far as official promotional assets from the developer are concerned, the only scrap given by Telltale so far is itsofficial trailer, which is incredibly short, and offers practically no details other than that the studio will put out aGuardians of the Galaxygame.
Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy: A Telltale Serieswon’t be the first instance of the studio tackling a comic book superhero-driven title. As it happens, the developer has handled a DC Comics property withBatman: The Telltale Series. While fans have been impressed with the narrative arc centered around the Dark Knight, the first couple of episodes initially encountered some problems on PC and also hadmajor issues on PS4 and Xbox One. With that being the case, one can only hope that Telltale Games is able to avoid any huge technical errors at the outset with itsGuardians of the Galaxyseries.
Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy: A Telltale Seriesis in production for mobile devices, PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
