【The Sex Factor Episode 8 Playing With The Pros】

Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol. 2isn't the only cosmic Marvel journey coming this spring; Telltale Games is The Sex Factor Episode 8 Playing With The Prosgetting in on that action as well.

The studio's next episodic release -- Guardians of the Galaxy: A Telltale Series -- is a standalone story based on the Marvel Comics series. In other words: this isn't an MCU joint.

We don't know much about the story beyond that. Star-Lord and his gang of fellow cosmic protectors happen upon a strange artifact that each of them covet, but they're not alone. Some as-yet-unidentified dark power wants the artifact for itself.

A newly released batch of screenshots and concept art don't give away any spoilers, but they do offer a sense of what the game looks like. If you're familiar with Telltale's past forays into the comic book universes of The Walking Dead, Fablesand Batmanthen this should look familiar.

These images represent our first close-up look at the game, though Telltale recently revealed who will be voicing the five heroic stars. Scott Porter (Friday Night Lights) is Star-Lord; Emily O'Brien (The Young and the Restless) is Gamora; Nolan North (Unchartedseries) is Rocket Raccoon; Brandon Paul Eells (Watch Dogs) is Drax; and Adam Harrington (The Wolf Among Us) is Groot.

The first episode should arrive sometime between April and June. Assuming Guardiansfollows the same release pattern as past Telltale titles, expect subsequent episodes to follow every month or two after that.

Don't be surprised if it arrives close to the upcoming movie. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, which hits theaters on May 5.
