At the end of October, a new video game based on a popular comic license appears with Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy . As part of a new entry in the official PlayStation Blog , one of the makers of the title, Senior Creative Director Jean-Francois Dugas von Eidos Montreal, about the game and goes a little closer to the origins as well as the designs of the illustrious main characters .

Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy: Developers had to find the core of the figures

Dugas leads out, the team had received free hand from Marvel and was able to create a completely independent version of the anti-herd troupe, which is detached from the comics, the cinema films and the cartoon adaptations. Nevertheless, the responsible persons would have studied all the various incarnations of the franchise in detail in order to fathom the core of the main characters and then recreate them.

In the Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy universe, a tremendous war took place in front of the events of the game, who devastated the entire galaxy. This was triggered by the Chitauri, an alien species, which also found in the movie Marvel's The Avengers. Of the impact of this conflict, the protagonists of the games were affected and were characterized by them in one way or another.

All main characters have a very personal connection to the events during the war. For example, protagonist Peter Quill Aka Star-Lord was abducted from the Chitauri on Earth, after this brought his mother. Drax lost his family through villain Thanos, who made a common cause with the Chitauri, while Gamora, the daughter's adopt daughter, tries to end the war. Finally, fate led her as a mercenary group, the Guardians of the Galaxy.
