LADY HELLBENDER – RUTHLESS LEADER AND GALACTIC GAME HUNTER, OR SOMETHING ELSE ENTIRELY?

Eidos-Montréal’s Cinematics & Animation Director shares some unexpected insight behind one of the most imposing characters in this new cinematic from Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy ​​​​​​​

Today Eidos-Montréalhas released a new gameplay cinematic building on last June’s global reveal of Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy at E3, picking up the story with Star-Lord and the Guardians as they commence their plan to negotiate with Lady Hellbender: leader of the Hellraisers, queen of Seknarf Nine and notorious monster collector.

With the decision left to the player on which “rare monster” to sell, AKA Groot or Rocket, this memorable moment ignites a chain of events that sees our band of misfits off on their wild ride across the cosmos, caught in a struggle for the fate of the universe.

With behind-the-scenes commentary from Darryl Purdy, Cinematics & Animation Director at Eidos-Montréal, it swiftly becomes clear that not all is what it seems, and Lady Hellbender may not be the cosmic monster trophy hunter the band of misfits have been led to believe.

Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy: Cloud Version for Nintendo Switch also coming to select regions October 26.
