The output of Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy should have been a bigger event for this game which deserved more. Eidos Montreal managed to release a fun game with a well-paced narrative, all with high-level art direction and a very good soundtrack (read the quiz). Although the commercial success was not at the rendezvous at the exit, the game seems to find its audience thanks to the Xbox Game Pass.
Xbox Game Pass revives Guardians of the Galaxy
The sales of Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy were below what Square Enix expected. The failure of Marvel’s Avengers in 2020 still hung in the memory, and players were hesitant to take the plunge. But an event will finally come to restart the machine: the release of the game in the Xbox Game Pass on March 10, 2022.
In an interview with Eurogamercreative director Jean-Francois Dugas says he has no regrets and says the team did everything they could to create a good game with this new franchise.
For her part, Director of Storytelling Mary DeMarle says the game’s arrival in Xbox Game Pass has helped the game find its audience.
For me, it’s really about making the game. What I love right now is people, especially with the Games Pass, playing it and sharing their experience.
We create games to reach people, we create games to reach an audience. And it’s great that he finds his audience, it’s great that he continues to move forward.
According to an analyst, Microsoft would have paid between 5 and 10 million dollars to integrate the game with Xbox Game Pass, the service that matters more than 25 million subscribers in the world.
For now, the developers of Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy do not want to comment on their next project, but when asked if a sequel could be considered, they respond with a laugh that you should “never say never”, but also that you should “never say anything say “.
