Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy: The Telltale Series is officially headed to consoles and the PC this spring and Telltale Games today dropped off a few key pieces of info and media.
Telltale’s Guardians of the Galaxy adventure will feature an all-new story and a familiar set of characters voiced by a new set of talent (as compared to the movies). The company confirmed Scott Porter as Star-Lord, Emily O’Brien as Gamora, Nolan North as Rocket, Brandon Paul Eells as Drax and Adam Harrington as Groot, many of which should be recognized by game fans.
They also confirmed a live premiere event at SXSW, a panel for PAX East and a season pass disc too.

Award-winning developer and publisher of digital entertainment, Telltale Games, along with Marvel Entertainment, today shared the world-first screenshots and cast details for Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy: The Telltale Series, set to premiere digitally this Spring on consoles, PC, and mobile devices.
Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy: The Telltale Series is a brand new story of the universe’s unlikeliest heroes: Star-Lord, Gamora, Drax, Rocket, and Groot. In the wake of an epic battle, the Guardians discover an artifact of unspeakable power. Each of them 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, you wear the rocket-powered boots of Star-Lord in an original Guardians adventure, where your decisions and actions drive the story you experience.
