Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy franchise has a rather tight bond with music, and today we see how the upcoming game by Eidos Montreal pays homage to this tradition.
The developer released two videos of the Zero to Hero single by the fictional band Star-Lord in an adorable animated retro style inspired by classic cartoons from the eighties.
The single is also available in a variety of digital music stores, and you can find it here.
