Rights-holder and production house FremantleMedia is on the hunt for partners to create a game based on fantasy drama Merlin. The show can be seen in some 165 countries and boasts 6m viewers in the UK.
A third series is currently planned for a September launch, complete with a variety of licensing tie-ins including, playsets, figurines, DVDs, books, costumes, calendars, bags, wallets and more.
"We are already talking to a number of games companies, but nothing has been signed yet," said VP of brand licensing and retail at Fremantle, Pindy O'Brien.
Joe 'Three Sheets' Neate (Executive Producer): "As I’m sure you can imagine, when it comes to Sea of Thieves my days are full of numbers. Development costs, active servers, days until the next update… Sometimes, though, a truly extraordinary number stands out – a number like 40 million, which I’m incredibly pleased to say is the number of pirates who’ve now set sail in Sea of Thieves!"
Garrr... more people to walk the plank and send to Davey Jones locker.
would have been funny to release this on talk like a pirate day.
Devstream 178 was filled with so many cool announcements for the game's community, and were able to ask a lot of questions about Warframe: 1999 and more!
From The Growing Stones and Valkyrie Interactive comes The Mildew Children on Xbox and PC. Ready for the fairy tales and horror it brings?
and here comes some tv adapted shovelware
It's a pretty good show I reckon. Watched one episode to see how the iPlayer worked on the PS3 and started watching it from then on. The banter between Arthur and Merlin is very funny.
That said, I imagine a game would undoubtedly suck.
I don't think the show's quality matters. Lost is an amazing TV series, and the game based on it could have been really awesome (charismatic characters, a great plot, etc...) but the video game was just...a game based on a TV series, so...
I don't know why they're so bad.
oh gawd,im sure it will sukk
