Eidos-Montréal and Marvel Games are giving Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy another encore, this time on Nintendo Switch 2. The newly announced Encore Edition launches digitally on November 5 and contains the complete original game plus its previously released digital content. More interestingly, the studio has created Switch 2-specific additions including five new glam-rock-inspired outfits, one for each Guardian, along with mouse support for menus and aiming and gyroscope controls for selected movement and Milano sequences. The port is being developed internally at Eidos-Montréal rather than handed to an external conversion studio, which should at least give the team intimate familiarity with every cassette tape, corridor and argument aboard the Milano. The original Guardians of the Galaxy won considerable praise for its character writing and single-player focus despite arriving when many players were still suspicious of Marvel games after Avengers. Giving it another platform makes considerable sense, particularly on hardware that can offer both television and portable play. There is no suggestion that Encore Edition substantially changes the campaign, and that is probably fine. The game's greatest feature remains listening to five dysfunctional space heroes argue until, almost accidentally, they become rather lovable.
