As IDW Publishing looks forward to celebrating its 15th
year as a leader in the comic-book industry, they are proud to announce a
partnership with board-game giant, Pandasaurus Games, for the launch of a new
division, IDW Games.
“We’re well known for diversity at IDW, in the world of
entertainment and comics,” said CEO & Publisher Ted Adams. “With all of the
great properties we publish, it seemed natural that a lot of them would make
fantastic games. We’ve found the perfect partner in Pandasaurus Games to help
us make that happen.”
“We at Pandasaurus
Games are thrilled to be working with the talented team at IDW to develop
incredible games built on the amazing worlds of their comics. The wealth of
creative talent that IDW has worked with is unmatched. More than that, their
comic books create living breathing worlds that drip theme and beg readers to
dive into headfirst. We can't wait to help bring these worlds to life for
gamers everywhere. Pandasaurus and IDW are committed to working hand in hand
with world class designers and artists to build original experiences from the
ground up based on the living worlds created in the pages of IDW comics,” said
Pandasaurus President/Founder Nathan McNair.
IDW Games will specialize in high-quality big-box games
developed around several of IDW’s key properties, beginning in the late spring
of 2014 with Kill Shakespeare and 30 Days of Night. Readers and gamers alike
will now be given the chance to battle the Bard or the vampires of Barrow, Alaska
in these tabletop games developed by the same game designers that brought us
the critically acclaimed fan-favorite, Yedo.
“We're incredibly excited to move into tabletop gaming
and give fans a way to spend even more time with their favorite titles. This is
a very strong pair of games to launch right out of the gate, and over the next
few months we'll be making more major announcements that should have the gaming
community buzzing,” said IDW New Business Development Director Jerry
Bennington.
