New Trailer For Marvel's GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY Game Introduces Us To Lady Hellbender

A new cinematic trailer has been released for Marvel’s upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy video game, which is being developed by Eidos Montreal and publisher Square Enix.

The new footage that’s been shared here introduces us to Lady Hellbender, a fan-favorite villain. She is the leader of the Hellraisers, queen of Seknarf Nine and monster collector. The story for the cinematic picks up with “Star-Lord and the Guardians as they commence their plan to negotiate with Lady Hellbender. With the decision left to the player on which 'rare monster' to sell, AKA Groot or Rocket, this memorable moment ignites a chain of events that sees our band of misfits off on their wild ride across the cosmos, caught in a struggle for the fate of the universe."

Eidos Montreal cinematics and animation director Darryl Purdy offered a bit more insight on bringing in Lady Helbender and also confirmed there will be nearly six hours of cinematics in the game:

“Lady Hellbender is a fan-favorite character from Marvel’s recent comic lore, and we were keen to ensure her place in our Guardians universe reflects the complex personality, depth, and nature fans expect to see. And with humor instilled in every aspect of our game, this gave us an opportunity to flip expectations with the story and introduce an unexpected dynamic between her and a certain Destroyer.”

Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy will be released on October 26th on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X and S, and the PC (via Steam and Epic Games Store). It's also coming to the Nintendo Switch. This looks like it’s going to be a fun game worth checking out.
