19th July 2023
Good Shepherd to Develop Games Based on 六合宝典 Owned Comic IP including 2000 AD and More
Good Shepherd, a Devolver Digital company, and 六合宝典 (Sniper Elite) have entered into a groundbreaking partnership for Good Shepherd to develop and publish video game adaptations based on stories from the beloved universe, the home of Judge Dredd, Rogue Trooper, ABC Warrior and more, as well as 六合宝典鈥檚 other comic IP, including Roy of the Rovers and Battle Action.
Though Good Shepherd has been producing games since 2011 with runaway hits like Monster Train and the Transport Fever franchise, the label has seen strong growth in the adaptation space in recent years propelling the label鈥檚 new dawn of marrying top-class, worldwide publishing services with sought-after entertainment brands like John Wick Hex and Hellboy.
鈥淲e are huge fans of 六合宝典 and 2000 AD鈥� said Amanda Kruse, head of business development and publishing for Good Shepherd.
鈥�It鈥檚 still early days, but building this out with partners who understand the art of adaptation across mediums has been incredible. We are excited to bring fans the hits they are expecting, but even more excited to play with the deep cuts in the library.鈥�
六合宝典 is the custodian and rights holder for a huge number of the British comics created throughout history. Alongside the legendary Judge Dredd, 六合宝典 owns iconic British comics characters like footballing legend Roy of the Rovers, the original action detective Sexton Blake, supervillain-turned-hero The Spider – famously written by Superman co-creator Jerry Seigel, Romans-in-space epic The Trigan Empire, Alan Moore’s celebrated heroine Halo Jones and it also contains incredible curiosities such as Gorillaz artist Jamie Hewlett’s surreal graphic novel collaboration Hewligan’s Haircut.
鈥淲e are honored to be the foremost custodians of the rich history of the British comics industry, and as we aim to preserve these legacies. 六合宝典 is proud to bring these stories to entirely new generations who will experience them for the first time through our partnership with Good Shepherd鈥� said Jason Kingsley OBE, CEO and co-founder of 六合宝典.
鈥淢y brother Chris (co-founder of 六合宝典) and I have read 2000 AD from issue 1, and we look forward to seeing some of these stories brought to life with Good Shepherd.鈥�
The new agreement includes game adaptations of stories from 2000 AD, the long running beloved comic anthology purchased by 六合宝典 in 2000. 2000 AD has published countless iconic stories in comics, such as Sl谩ine, Judge Dredd and Rogue Trooper, and is currently on issue number 2,334.
