Anyone who lived intensely during the Playstation 2 remember the craze that was when animated films were made into video games.
With each new work, the expectation of an innovative game arose. Contrary to the belief that all these games would be uninteresting, many stood out for their fun.
Now, Star Collective is ready to revive this practice, as several games based on its upcoming films are in the development phase, including ‘Garfield’, with Chris Pratt as the protagonist’s voice actor.
Movie-inspired games
According to information from Deadline, specific details about the games have not yet been revealed, as they are in the initial stages of development, many of them directly related to the games themselves. films.
Therefore, the lack of information about the release date and platforms is understandable.
However, it is already possible to see some titles that are in the process of being created:
-
‘Garfield: The Movie’, starring Chris Pratt;
-
‘Every House is Haunted’, by Sam Raimi and Roy Lee;
-
‘The Burden’, by James Wan and Sam Raimi;
-
‘Hunting Season’, by James Wan and Don Murphy;
-
‘The Call of Cthulhu’ and ‘Mass Extinction’, by James Wan;
-
‘The Goxfather’ by Jon M. Chu;
-
‘Memory Lost in Space’, based on Tong Hua’s novels.
The investment fund behind these ventures is a collaboration between Peter Luo’s Stars Collective, Chinese firm Hana Investment and Starlight Media.
The strategy involves resources across multiple verticals, such as film, TV, comics, games, collectibles, consumer goods, artificial intelligence (AI) and new technologies, over a three-year period.
Although Star Collective is not directly involved in the production of the film, Garfieldwhich is scheduled to debut in 2024, the company holds an exclusive 25-year merchandising license in China.
Such an exclusive license is what will allow the animated film to be part of the slate of games in development. Star Collective’s initiative is, without a doubt, a bold move that could result in great success or failure.
The question is: would you play a new Garfield game? The future holds an experience that mixes nostalgia and innovation in the Garfield universe on video game consoles.
With strategic partnerships and a bold approach, we look forward to seeing how this initiative will shape the landscape of interactive entertainment and whether players will eagerly embrace the opportunity to re-immerse themselves in the world of this lasagna-loving orange cat.
