It’s been quite a year for Square Enix with the release of Marvel’s Avengers and Outriders, the slate for what’s next is really exciting. Also comes the news of some brand new games in the Marvel and Final Fantasy franchises. The biggest surprise was the amount of footage we were shown from Guardians of the Galaxy and the release date of 2021. The game is being done by Eidos Montreal and is completely separate from the Marvel Avengers game universe.
The graphics of the universe and the story look very true to both the film and the whackiness of the comics. The soundtrack is also reminiscent of the Marvel Studios films so it feels really fitting. Watch the reveal and gameplay trailers below
The next new game is from the Final Fantasy franchise titled Strangers of Paradise Final Fantasy Origin. The game is set to release in 2022 on PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and PC. The action RPG was made in conjunction with Team NINJA from the Nioh and Ninja Garden series.
During the show The Stranger of Paradise Final Fantasy Origin Trial was also announced. This will allow players to get a taste of the full game and will release on the Playstation 5 today. You can also participate in a survey giving direct feedback to the game development team.
