Marvel’sGuardians of the Galaxy gameis starting to look like it could be a sleeper hit – at least in how deeply it’s leaning into all the latest graphical bells and whistles.

A new trailer shows off how those lucky enough to have the latest and greatest in PC hardware, such as anRTX 3080orRTX 3090graphics card, can push the game to its limits:

“PC players will enjoy this stunning universe’s visuals with even higher performance”, said Olivier Proulx, senior producer at Eidos-Montréal. And he’s not kidding – the trailer shows off resolutions going up to8Knatively, diffuse illumination,HDR, wide color gamut, ray-tracing and the very usefulNvidiaDLSS technology that upscales visuals to higher resolutions at a minimal performance hit.

One to watch

There’s something about the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy game that’s increasingly interesting to us.

Both the Marvel gaming franchise and developer Eidos-Montréal need a hit. TheMarvel’s Avengersgame was met with a tepid reaction, and it’s landed onXbox Game Passfar sooner than many would have hoped or expected. And while Eidos-Montréal has made some wonderful games, particularly its Deus Ex titles, they’ve never quite hit the mass audience they’ve deserved.

Hopefully this pairing between popular property and superb studio will work some Marvel magic that both parties sorely need.

Madcap fun, Guardians of the Galaxy is looking like a hoot. It hits consoles and PC on October 26 – keep locked on TechRadar for our full impressions in the run up to launch.
