Happy World Book Day! What better way to celebrate on Eurogamer than to think of some of our favourite connections between games and books. We hope you have a lovely day spent reading.
Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy
Meeting a freshly formed team of unlikely heroes with a perfect balance of contempt for one another and sarcastic quips would have been enough, but M.K England took it one step further. Their book seamlessly alternates between the present time, before we meet the team in the 2021 game, and 12 years before that, where a young Peter Quill encounters Ko-Rel while battling the Chitarui on Mercury. Sure, inferring parts of their relationship in the main game is part of the charm, but having a book that explores a big point in the history displayed between the Commander and the rogue Ravager makes their eventual alliance all the more bitter-sweet.
