Marvel\u2019s Guardians of the Galaxy was one of the biggest titles of 2021; however, it failed to meet the launch expectations of Square Enix.<\/p>\n

Despite winning the Best Narrative Game of 2021 at The Game Awards and scoring a consistently high review rating from both gamers and critics, the Marvel game underperformed on its release.<\/p>\n

Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy focuses on the story of Star-Lord (Peter Quill) as he leads his ragtag group.<\/p><\/div>\n

\u201cDespite strong reviews, the game\u2019s sales on launch undershot our initial expectations,\u201d said Square Enix in its\u00a0mid-year financial results report<\/a>.<\/p>\n

However, the developer also indicated that there was a growth in sales in the months that followed the launch, and that initiatives implemented by Square Enix likewise gave rise to higher revenue.<\/p>\n

Square Enix indicated that it intended to continue with these initiatives to ensure that Marvel\u2019s Guardians of the Galaxy makes up for its slow start.<\/p>\n

Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy is an action-adventure single-player game currently available on consoles and Steam<\/a> – its trailer can be watched below.<\/p>\n
