Telltale decided to go against an origin story, and instead focused on the connections between each of the five Guardians. Telltale and Marvel partnered to develop the game, quickly establishing that they wanted to make an original story that used the characters' canon but was not tied to the 2014 film. Within the series, the player primarily plays as Star-Lord, but may at times briefly take the role of another Guardian during action sequences, or, during specific times, play as another character in a flashback. Players make choices, such as dialogue selection, that create determinants within the story affecting later actions within the episode and in future episodes. Guardians of the Galaxy plays similar to other Telltale games, in which the player's character talks to other characters, explores environments and interacts with objects within it, and at times, completes action sequences made up of quick time events. The plot centers on the Guardians' finding an artifact of great power called the 'Eternity Forge' which each individually covets but must protect from the malicious Kree Hala the Accuser, who wants it for herself.

Based on Marvel Comics' Guardians of the Galaxy comic book series, the game's first episode was released on April 18, 2017. Guardians of the Galaxy: The Telltale Series is an episodic graphic adventure video game series developed and published by Telltale Games.
