Today, the union updated their list of projects that aren’t being struck, and it too includes a large number of unannounced projects.



Perhaps the biggest inclusion in the non-struck list is Guardians of the Galaxy: The Video Game (AKA “Blue Harvest” . It’s easy to assume that Marvel is developing a tie-in mobile game for the film sequel, but it interestingly shares a production house with Telltale’s The Walking Dead: A New Frontier. So it’s not too far of a leap to assume that Telltale’s mysterious Marvel project might star the Guardians of the Galaxy. SAG-AFTRA, the largest union for voice actors and stunt performers in Hollywood, authorized a strike against some game developers and production studios nearly two weeks ago. Because of the strike, all work ceased on a number of in-development projects, including a few unannounced games, such as Madden NFL 18 and Brothers in Arms 4.Today, the union updated their list of projects that aren’t being struck, and it too includes a large number of unannounced projects.It’s easy to assume that Marvel is developing a tie-in mobile game for the film sequel, Click to expand...

Other games by other companies on that list (most of these are probably working titles):Sledgehammer games: Call of Duty: Lethal CombatEA: Project X (AKA "Delta"), Walrus, YumaWB Games: Lego Zeus, Metallica, Sabbath, KrakenTake-Two: Dust (AKA "Dark Future & Aces High")Insomniac: Sleepless (probably their Spider-Man game)Square Enix: Final Fantasy Black (probably FF XV)Anyway, more proof for Telltale's Marvel game being Guardians of the Galaxy turned up a couple of months back when some people participated in a survey for Telltale asking them about their familiarity with Telltale, Marvel, and specifically a lot of questions about Guardians of the Galaxy, which was already a pretty big hint. This list seems to hint that it's indeed the title they're going to do (which makes sense, given that it's not as likely to get a big game by other companies, and the scifi/comedy/pop music combination fits Telltale like a glove).I participated in some of their earlier questionnaires myself, one for Back to the Future and one for Walking Dead (both long before their release), and I know they released similar questionnaires for some of their other titles. It's a tool they've often used to test out the appeal of possible approaches to franchises in the past, so it doesn't surprise me they're still doing it. In retrospect those questionnaires hinted a lot about storylines that would be explored in the actual games.I tapped out of Telltale a while back but I figured people here would be excited. I was in it more for their earlier classic adventure game style, but I don't think that has any chance of making a comeback with them anymore (certainly not for this game).
