Lost Arcade to Prime Time: Golden Axe Swings into Comedy Central
It’s always exciting to see classic games being reimagined for new platforms. This trend keeps the games alive and has proven to be a robust business strategy. This approach has extended beyond games and has found its way into films and series on video-on-demand platforms. A great example is the new series ‘Fallout’ on Prime Video, which premiered on April 11, 2024, and has been received with great enthusiasm.
Comedy Central is reportedly developing an animated series based on the classic game ‘Golden Axe’, which is indicative of the trend of beloved games being brought back into the spotlight.
The creators of this iconic game from our childhood include Mike McMahon, who recently developed ‘Star Trek: Love at Dusk’ for Prime Video, along with Joe Chandler.
The initial season of the ‘Golden AxeAxe’ series is slated to debut with 10 episodes on Comedy Central. The official description indicates the show “will follow veteran warriors Tyrus Flair and Julius Thunderhead as they fight once more to save Yuria from a relentless evil giant.
Fortunately, this time, they are not alone; they’re joined by the inexperienced and comically underprepared Hampton Squibb!
So this nostalgic and sometimes pathetic journey continues.
Before the series air, you can practice the game on the go and relive the original ‘Golden Axe’ adventure on mobile devices available for Android and IOS:
Golden Axe 1 on Android Play
