Jacque Belletête has had a long career in the gaming industry, spanning almost 23 years. He has worked with a lot of top developers in the world, including Ubisoft and Square Enix. His upcoming game Hell is Us is considered a competitor of Elden Ring.
Belletête is a highly skilled video game developer who has left a lasting mark on any game that he has ever worked on, including the best and most underrated Marvel game, Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy. He was the art director for this game.
Belletête’s contribution made Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy special
After working for many years at Ubisoft, Belletête had enough and wanted to start something of his own. He, along with a few others, left Ubisoft and started Eidos Montréal, a studio that would later be included in the production of a lot of successful games, including Deus Ex: Human Revolution and Mankind Divided.
Then the studio decided to collaborate with Square Enix and attempted to do Final Fantasy XV. After that, he came on board as the art director of Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy, which, despite being a great game, went under the radar.
It was after this when he decided that he was done and now wanted to make a game of his own, a game that would later be known as Hell is Us. This upcoming third-person horror game has been generating a lot of hype lately, and people have high expectations from it. During an interview with TrueAchievements, he said:
And at that point, I was like, you know, what? I want to do my game. My friend Yves (Bordeleau), who’s the general manager at Rogue Factor, we had been talking for years about working together, but it was never really the right moment.
Then I was like, ‘I think this is it: I’m a bit a bit done with the whole AAA studio thing.’ It has nothing to do with Eidos — I mean Eidos is like my family, man. I mean, we built that shit from… we were four at the beginning when we really started doing Deus Ex. When I left, we were 500, you know? These guys are my brothers and sisters. But no, the whole AAA thing, I was just getting bored and I was just getting too comfortable.
He had had enough with AAA titles and wanted to explore things uniquely and differently, and that made him come up with a third-person horror game. Hell is Us is expected to release in the latter half of 2025.
Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy has a special place in people’s hearts
Despite Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy not being a massive hit, it still managed to find a niche audience who still respect the game for what it managed to achieve in terms of gameplay and narrative. It does a lot of things better than MCU.
It offers a unique perspective in the world of the guardians where you play as the Star Lord, who has a lot of special abilities, accompanied by the other guardians, including Gamora, Rocket Raccoon, and Groot.
The game largely garnered a positive response but still failed to generate a lot of hype and is hence by far the most underrated Marvel game of this decade. Do you still like playing Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy? Let us know in the comments below.
