Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy, the action-packed space adventure game by Square Enix and Eidos Montreal, is now available for free on the Epic Games Store. This limited-time offer lasts until January 11 and gives players the chance to step into Star-Lord’s shoes, leading a cast of intergalactic misfits 12 years after the Galactic War. The game features unique team combat dynamics, with each Guardian bringing their specialized skills to the fray. Music plays an integral role, as players can inspire their team with choices from Star-Lord's 80s-themed cassette player, impacting combat through the 'Huddle' mechanic.

The next free game on the Epic Games Store, Sail Forth, will involve sailing through an oceanic world full of adventure and encounters with pirates. This will be available after the Guardians of the Galaxy promotion ends.
