Inès Bruckner, Associate Producer, adds: " By developing the Switch 2 version internally at Eidos-Montréal, our objective was to ensure we deliver a version of the game that feels right at home, whether you play on a TV or handheld. And with the addition of the new Encore Edition outfits, we wanted to give the Guardians unique looks inspired by the same glam rock era as the Star-Lord band’s album, which resonated so much with fans."

Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy: Encore Edition allows players to go hands-on with a genuine video game classic. Hearing that the Star-Lord band would re-string their guitars and crank their amps to 11 for an encore is the icing on this delicious treat. We can’t wait for new generations of fans to play one of our greatest hits.” says Eric Monacelli, Executive Producer, Marvel Games.
