In addition to the licensed music, Eidos-Montréal also created original tracks as part of the backstory for Peter Quill. In the game, Quill is a big fan of the '80s rock group Star-Lord Band, which inspired him to adopt the moniker. In reality, Star-Lord Band never actually existed in the 80s so senior audio director Steve Szczepkowski made it a reality.
We already got to listen to one of the band's songs last month with the release of "Space Riders with No Names." This week, a second track, "Zero to Hero," was released alongside an animated music video inspired by classic '80s cartoons.
Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy is set to launch on October 26, 2021 for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. A Cloud Version of the game will be arriving for Nintendo Switch on the same day.
