Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy will drop at the end of the month. There have been a lot of launch trailers and stories that has kept the excitement high. Recent updates to the Steam page included information regarding system requirements. The storage notes indicate that the Guardians embark on an adventure of galactic proportions. It is expected to take 150GB.

To put that into perspective, Microsoft Flight Simulator – a game that maps/renders the entire world with stellar precision – is 127GB on PC. Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy is even larger than Warzone at 175GB. Given the size of both these games on consoles it is safe to say that GOTG too will be huge on those platforms. We hope that loading times aren’t too slow! This is likely indicative of all the worlds that we will be exploring.

Star-Lord, his alien band and other oddities will be on a space adventure. They are trying to establish a name and money by forging alliances/burning links with characters such as Cosmo the Spacedog or Lady Hellbender. Adam Warlock is likely to join the fray. It remains to be determined if he will emerge as a friend or foe. Around the time of our Marvel’s GOTG cover reveal, creative director Jean-François Dugas told us, “[The Guardians are]Hire legitimate heroes, but they become more and more difficult to find. [the main threat of the game]To save the galaxy, these will not be a mere marketing stunt.
