Eidos-Montréal and Marvel Games have confirmed a release date for Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy: Encore Edition on Nintendo Switch 2.
In this action-adventure game, you take on the role of Star-Lord, the self-proclaimed leader of the Guardians of the Galaxy, and lead the Guardians in combat, exploration, and conversation.
“Discover new cosmic Super Heroes, Super Villains, and worlds,” the publisher outlines in a press release. “Upgrade Guardians and experiment with 50 in-game outfits, and much more. Last, but not least, rock out to a killer soundtrack with 30+ classic ‘80s hits. Headbanging required.
You can expect “everything that fans love about the original game,” with exclusive new content for the Nintendo Switch 2 port that includes:
Full base game: The original Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy, including all previously released digital content
5 new exclusive outfits: Brand-new looks for each of the five Guardians inspired by 1980s glam rock, available only in the Encore Edition
Mouse control support: Full mouse functionality using Nintendo Switch 2’s built-in mouse, for menus and aiming
Gyroscope motion support: Tilt your controller to guide the Milano through space or to move Peter around when sliding or during zero gravity gameplay sequences
Three play modes: TV mode, Tabletop mode, and Handheld mode
“We poured a lot of love into these five characters, and the response from players confirmed they felt it too. The Encore Edition is our way of giving the Guardians one more night on stage, this time on Nintendo Switch 2,” explains Eidos-Montréal studio creative director Jean-François Dugas.
Associate producer Inès Bruckner adds: “By developing the Switch 2 version internally at Eidos-Montréal, our objective was to ensure we deliver a version of the game that feels right at home, whether you play on a TV or handheld. And with the addition of the new Encore Edition outfits, we wanted to give the Guardians unique looks inspired by the same glam rock era as the Star-Lord band’s album, which resonated so much with fans.”
Marvel Games executive producer Eric Monacelli adds: “Bringing one of our most critically acclaimed Marvel Games stories to a new platform on the Nintendo Switch 2 is a no-brainer. Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy: Encore Edition allows players to go hands-on with a genuine video game classic. Hearing that the Star-Lord band would re-string their guitars and crank their amps to 11 for an encore is the icing on this delicious treat. We can’t wait for new generations of fans to play one of our greatest hits.”
Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy: Encore Edition will be released digitally on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch 2 worldwide on 5 November 2026.
