As video game actors continue their strike, demanding video game companies to offer them better compensation for their contributions, details of a new Telltale Games title has emerged. The game turns out to be a Marvel game; more specifically a "Guardians of the Galaxy" title.
According to Comic Book Movie, the SAG-AFTRA outed a list of video games in which new deals for voice actors were not yet accomplished. "Guardians of the Galaxy - The Video Game" was among these games. It is also listed with a working title of "Blue Harvest," the same working title used when "Return of the Jedi" was in production.
Given that it is being developed by Telltale Games, it is expected to be an adventure game similar to their other games like "The Walking Dead," "A Wolf Among Us," and the recent "Batman: The Telltale Game." This means it will focus heavily on story, character development, and player choices instead of platforming or action.
Eurogamer reveals that the information leaked doesn't tell much as it could be fake. It is uncertain if the game will be set in the continuity of the Marvel comic books or in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The report does cite that the latter is the more likely scenario given that the first film was a big success and a second film is coming out in theaters in 2017.
The report further states that the game might serve as a kind of bridge between the two games. This is based on the fact that Telltale Games did the same thing with their "Game of Thrones" series, which was based on the television series and tells the events that happen between the different show seasons.
No official release date for "Guardians of the Galaxy - The Video Game" was given. The game is speculated to come out in early 2017 at the earliest.
