Good Shepherd and Rebellion unite to turbocharge 2000 AD universe (game news).

Get ready, citizens of Mega-City One! Your video game prayers have been heard, as Good Shepherd, a suave operator under the Devolver Digital umbrella, teams up with Rebellion, the sharpshooters responsible for the Sniper Elite series, to conjure a bouquet of games set in the bewitching 2000 AD universe. That’s right – Dredd-heads and Rogue Troopers, start your engines!

Good Shepherd, the gaming world’s conductor of hits like “Monster Train” and the “Transport Fever” series, has found its groove in the realm of adaptation in recent times. They’ve proved their mettle by transforming familiar entertainment brands like “John Wick Hex” and “Hellboy” into extraordinary gaming experiences. But hold onto your helmets, because they’ve set their sights on a new challenge – the iconic 2000 AD universe.

“We are salivating at the thought of partnering with Rebellion and 2000 AD,” said Amanda Kruse, head of business development and publishing for Good Shepherd. “Though we’re still in the ‘getting to know you’ phase of this partnership, the synergy is palpable. We can’t wait to surprise fans with the hits they love, and maybe a few hidden gems from the back-catalogue.”

Now, if you’re not familiar with Rebellion, let us paint you a picture. Imagine being the guardians of the galaxy, except, instead of celestial bodies, your charge is the grandiose history of British comics. Rebellion is the master key holder of a vast assortment of vintage British comics, including stalwarts like “Judge Dredd”, “Roy of the Rovers”, “Sexton Blake”, and rarities like Jamie Hewlett’s graphic novel collaboration “Hewligan’s Haircut”. It’s like having the Tardis of comic books in your back pocket.

With this remarkable fusion, you can expect to see adaptations of stories from the famed 2000 AD anthology, which Rebellion handily picked up back in 2000. And yes, we see the irony in that too. You’ll recognize classic tales such as “Sláine”, “Judge Dredd”, and “Rogue Trooper”, freshened up and ready to re-capture your imagination.

“We’re stoked to be the prime keepers of Britain’s comic book legacy. It’s a thrill to introduce these epic tales to fresh eyes, and we couldn’t have asked for better partners than Good Shepherd for this endeavor,” proclaimed Jason Kingsley OBE, CEO and co-founder of Rebellion. “My brother Chris and I have been on the 2000 AD ride since issue 1, and we can’t wait to see these stories come alive anew.”

With these comic book connoisseurs working together, we can only imagine the pixelated nirvana we are about to witness. The agreement has given a green signal to video game adaptations of legendary characters like Judge Dredd and Rogue Trooper, who have already smashed their way into films, novels, and earlier games.

So, prepare to step into the boots of the most feared lawman in Mega-City One or assume the mantle of the sole surviving Genetic Infantryman. Remember, these are the guys who have been giving nightmares to Traitor Generals since the ’80s.

So there you have it, sci-fi fans and comic geeks. Set your reminders, stockpile those energy drinks, and dust off your gaming chairs. Good Shepherd and Rebellion are about to send you on an adventure of galactic proportions. Stay tuned!
