Rebellion, the publisher-developers who maintain the videogame rights to 2000 AD and, thus, Judge Dredd, are contemplating a sport based mostly on the incorruptible decide, jury, and executioner.
It can be a cheerful day after we can add Judge Dredd to our listing of upcoming PC games.
We had a pleasant chat with Rebellion CEO Jason Kingsley at E3, the place his firm had been displaying their forthcoming titles Rogue Trooper Redux and Strange Brigade (which is plenty of enjoyable, by the way). Asked if we will get a Judge Dredd sport, Kingsley stated the next:
“Yes, we can. Yes, we can. We’ve obviously got the TV show that we’ve announced. That’s in the early stages of development, which is very exciting.”
Here, Kingsley is referring to Judge Dredd: Mega City One, the reside motion TV collection, which was announced in May. Rebellion will work with IM Global, an leisure manufacturing firm who additionally introduced us the 2012 Dredd film and 2013’s Locke, starring Tom Hardy.
“But realistically, that’s gonna be a couple of years from now before it hits the screens,” Kingsley continued. “A couple of years is the sweet spot, perhaps, for making a computer game. So we’ve got to seriously look at doing something with Judge Dredd in the computer game space. I don’t know yet, we haven’t made any decisions, but it’d be crazy not to look at it, anyway.”
We want lets say it is confirmed, however it does sound like Kingsley is taking the prospect critically, maybe in anticipation of resurgent curiosity because the TV present airs. That’s nice information, as Judge Dredd has been woefully underserved by videogames contemplating how superior the character is.
