Origins of Grand Unifier Raker in Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy
MONTRÉAL, CANADA (August 25, in the year
of our Lord 2021) - Marvel Games VP of Creative Bill
Rosemann lends his expertise to give fans a greater understanding of
Grand Unifier Raker and the Universal Church of Truth, both unveiled
yesterday in the new Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy cinematic. In
this video, Bill, the former editor of the Guardians of the Galaxy
comic book from 2008 – 2010, explains the origins of the
cybernetically-enhanced zealot and the enigmatic organization, both
intent on bringing the so-called "Promise" to the whole galaxy.
This cinematic sees Star-Lord and his crew come face-to-face with
the menacing Grand Unifier Raker, flanked by two of his imposing
bodyguards, the Inquisitors. Despite being shot at by Rocket, Grand
Unifier Raker is (currently) not interested in harming the
Guardians, and instead wants to introduce them to the mysterious
Matriarch. The dramatic scene closes with the Universal Church of
Truth’s colossal starship entering the fray, swallowing the Hala’s
Hope whole and capturing our Guardians.
Bill Rosemann says “Collaborating closely with the team at
Eidos-Montréal generated the incredible opportunity to delve into
the Marvel archives, tap into some of our deepest cuts, and bring to
life characters not previously seen outside the pages of classic
comic books. Grand Unifier Raker, the Universal Church of Truth, and
previously revealed characters like Lady Hellbender and Cosmo are
just a taste of what fans should expect from this game, where
decades of Marvel stories shaped this new universe. It’s original,
it’s outlandish, It’s 100% Guardians!”
NVIDIA revealed the cutscene with their Gamescom 2021 announcement
