Grendizer: a video game is in development, and it is the French of Microïds who are doing it.

A video game overseen by Microïds: this announcement, nobody saw it coming. What could seem like a joke could not be more official since a few minutes, since it is the Japanese media which had the first of the information. GameWatch, 4Gamer, all are clear, the famous robot that rocked the childhood of many 40s today will make a resounding return to console. For now, information around the game is very poor, production having started recently, but Go Nagai will be involved in this adaptation through its company Dynamic Planning.

Why relive the adventures of Daisuke (Actarus in VF) and Grendizer (Goldorak in our home) in a video game with today’s techniques is a dream come true. I can’t wait to play it.

Popularized in France via Dorothée in Récré A2 in 1978, the cartoon was a resounding success with children in France. However, Goldorak, or rather Grendizer, is not the most popular vigilante robot in Japan, which preferred a certain Mazinger to him, but in the hearts of French children, it is nevertheless good old Goldorak that counts. Stephane Longeard, CEO of Microïds, is also part of this generation and the arrival of such a license in the bosom of his company makes him as happy as we are:

The game is in development and I hope we will make a game that will delight early fans. Our production team will go out of their way to deliver a game that pays homage to the license and what it stands for.

If we touch wood so that the result is not of the same ilk as the productions of the French firm (RIP XIII Remake and the Blue Tunics), we do not know on the other hand if the game is development internally or entrusted to a young independent studio in the making. For Grendizer, dear Stephane Longeard, we will not have to miss … We will be careful in all cases.
