The She-Devil with a Sword will finally appear in her very own video game,courtesy of developer F84 Games and comic book writer Gail Simone.
Dynamite Entertainment and F84 Games announced their partnership during San Diego Comic-Con 2016, stating the Red Sonja video game will be released this upcoming winter for 2016/2017. The multi-format game will be written by Simone, the celebrated author who wrote the 2014 Red Sonja relaunch for Dynamite. No gaming platforms were announced for the Red Sonja video game, but judging by the developer’s resume, mobile looks to be a guaranteed system.
Depending on the success of the Red Sonja video game, we may see more characters from Dynamite make the jump from comic book pages to gaming consoles.
“There’re two things I love in this world without question, and those things are video games and Red Sonja,” Gail Simone said in the press release. “Gaming is such a huge part of my life, it’s what I do for relaxation, socialization, and inspiration, and my game and console collection is a terrifying sight to behold. Mixing my favorite character, the She-Devil With A Sword, with my life-long love of games is a dream come true. We plan on making this a bloody, sexy, funny good time, full of brutal swordplay, cackling villains, and horrendous monsters, all seen through Sonja’s trademark wit. I cannot wait.”
Other comic book game adaptation from F84 Games includes the DC Super Hero Girls: Hub App and Stan Lee’s Hero Command.
