It’s safe to say that Marvel rules the world right now. Whether its the MCU on the big screen or TV screen, Marvel has dominated everywhere except video games. With some recent news, though, that may be changing. This next step towards global domination starts with Telltale’s Guardians of the Galaxy, who just dropped a new trailer.

The Nova Corps are in trouble, and it seems the Guardians are the only ones that can help. Star-Lord, Rocket, Gamora, Groot, and Drax answer the call, stepping up to face the mad titan Thanos. That is about all the story the trailer gives away, but that’s all the story you need heading into “Tangled up in Blue,” the first of the five episode season. But, really, do you need anymore than that to guess what’s going to happen if they’re facing Thanos in the first episode. It’s Thanos, the guy almost rewrote reality a few times in the comics and is going to be the villain for two Avengers movies.

While not set within the MCU directly, to say its “inspired” by it is an understatement. The newest comics and the animated series on Disney XD all pulled tonally and visually from the movie, so it only makes sense Telltale followed suit. From the humor to the music, it feels like James Gunn himself was at Telltale, giving them ideas and pointers on the universe he put onscreen. The important things are still there, though. Drax still takes things a little too literally, Star-Lord has a sweet taste in music and style, and Groot is still Groot. It may not be a hard formula to nail, but simple doesn’t always mean easy. That said, this is the same dev team that nailed The Walking Dead, Game of Thrones, and Batman, and managed to give Minecraft a decent story.

And this ain’t the only thing on the way. With Insomniac’s PS4 exclusive Spider-Man game and Square Enix’s Avengers game, Marvel will take over the world. But, for the time being, fans will just have to settle for Telltale’s Guardians of the Galaxy when Episode 1 releases April 18th for download.

Diablo 4’s post-launch support will keep you playing for years, according to Blizzard. General manager Rod Fergusson confirmed two expansions and free content updates.

“As I sit here, we’re about to launch the main game; we’re finishing up season one; we’re working on season two; we’re working on expansion one; we’re kicking off expansion two,” he told PC Gamer on the Kinda Funny Xcast. These two DLCs may release sooner than expected. Fergusson says the live service model lets Blizzard release content faster than Diablo III.

With tens of hours of content in the base game, Diablo 4 is massive. This could be Destiny 2 or Genshin Impact, with seasons and DLC. That thought excites or frightens you. Leave a comment and check out our Diablo 4 guide for help with the PS5 and PS4 games.

Phantom Blade Zero, the next PS5 action game, may have improved. The developers’ Q/A Discord server revealed that the game won’t include microtransactions.

Each weapon has its own move set and combos to learn. Unsurprisingly, FromSoftware’s addictive (and innovative) gameplay style is an influence, but the goal is to be approachable. We like Star Wars Jedi: Survivor’s Soulslike mechanics.

It’s rare to see combat like that, so it’s hard not to be impressed. However, how it works is unknown. Phantom Blade Zero: your thoughts?
