It may have once been seen as the best option, but BioWare has made it clear Andromeda is going nowhere. There had to be some temptation to choose another new IP over Mass Effect or to return to the Milky Way, ignoring the events of the Andromeda Galaxy. What’s clear is that Andromeda has found its way into the hearts of many fans, and BioWare isn’t abandoning it.
This goes for Cyberpunk 2077, which has trended upward ever since releasing at rock bottom, and Battlefield 2042-should EA pursue it thoroughly.
Indeed, any game can be redeemed in the eyes of fans, should it openly tackle the issues. In the US the comic book industry is known for its own giant fair, San Diego’s ComicCon, which this year attracted over 100,000 attendees (most of them readers and fans) who revel in the glitter of outlandish costumes and exclusive Hollywood screenings.Its continued development was eventually canned, but had BioWare been able to fully pull off the Anthem 2.0 Reboot (made harder by the pandemic), it could have been in Andromeda’s shoes one day. So what happens to comic book types, steeped in movies and gaming and increasingly grappling with the demand for digital, who come to bookish Frankfurt? Well, it turns out they bring their games and movies with them. Lance Kreiter, Director of Global Licensing at leading independent publisher Dark Horse Comics, credits movie adaptations for bringing comics into the mainstream consciousness, not only in the US but around the world, a fact that has helped the sector stay strong in shaky economic times and had a direct effect on his own business of international licensing. This year he is excited to talk to publishers from around the world about Mass Effect: Redemption, a new series launching in January based on the blockbuster sci-fi videogame, which Kreiter hopes will open some new doors for Dark Horse. Mass effect redemption audiobook movie#Īlso in the works is an animated movie adaptation of Eric Powell’s quirky horror series The Goon, now in development with director/producer David Fincher. Powell is at Frankfurt this year as the guest of his German publisher Cross Cult-and is, in Kreiter’s opinion “primed for world domination”.ĭigital is another on-going issue, and one that Dark Horse is still wrestling with. As Kreiter puts it, “There are so many formats and platforms out there, we simply want to do what’s best for our licensors, creators and fans, but at the same time keep pace with market demands. Mass effect redemption audiobook movie#Īt this point we are mainly focusing on the iPhone platform, but the future is endless.” We also hope to create an environment where print and digital can co-exist and it’s not a battle about one or the other.
