A trailer for the episode will debut later this week, on Thursday at 5pm BST.

'Tangled Up in Blue' will cost $4.99 (no UK price specified) individually, but digital season passes will also be made available from online retailers. Telltale doesn't say how much these will cost.

If you're holding out for the physical edition of GotG: The Telltale Series, then you don't have long to wait. A special season pass disc will be released globally on May 5. It's unclear how many episodes will arrive on the disc but Telltale usually includes more than one.

The cast of the GotG series is now known. Scott Porter, who played Luke in The Walking Dead Season 2, will take the role of Star-Lord, while industry veteran Nolan North will play Rocket Raccoon.
