The series will span five episodes and launches in 2017 on PC, consoles, and mobile. In addition to being available digitally, a Season Pass disc will also be available in stores including the first episode as well as downloads of each additional episode as they become available.No specific platforms or release date were revealed, and we don't yet know whether this will tie into the Marvel Studios films or be an entirely separate story drawing from the comics. According to Telltale CEO and co-founder Kevin Bruner, "players will take on multiple roles within the ragtag band of heroes, and take the pilot's seat in directing their escapades around the universe.""Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy: The Telltale Series fully showcases Marvel and Telltale's rich legacy of storytelling, and fans will find themselves immersed in an original, character-driven narrative," Marvel Games & Innovation senior vice president Jay Ong said in a statement. "As part of our strategy to establish a new standard for Marvel games, this is certainly among the great titles to come."Telltale announced its partnership with Marvel way back in 2015 , but didn’t confirm a specific franchise at the time. Tonight’s reveal confirms rumors that circulated last month and comes just in time for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 , which hits theaters in May of next year.
