Good Shepherd Entertainment, a division of Devolver Digital, has partnered with Rebellion to make games based on Rebellion’s 2000 AD comic books.
The comic book property, which Rebellion purchased in 2000, includes intellectual properties such as Sláine, Judge Dredd and Rogue Trooper.
The agreement includes game adaptations of stories from 2000 AD, as well as Rebellion’s other comic intellectual property including Roy of the Rovers and Battle Action.
Good Shepherd has been producing games since 2011 with hits like Monster Train and the Transport Fever franchises.
Amanda Kruse, head of business development and publishing for Good Shepherd, said in an interview with GamesBeat, that the adaptation space has been strong in recent years as game makers go after entertainment brands like John Wick.
“We are huge fans of Rebellion and 2000 AD,” said Kruse. “It’s 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.”
Rebellion was founded in 1992 and is one of the world’s most successful independent game studios. It wants to bring these stories to new generations who will experience them for the first time through the partnership with Good Shepherd.
“My brother Chris (co-founder of Rebellion) and I have read 2000 AD from issue No. 1, and we look forward to seeing some of these stories brought to life with Good Shepherd,” said Jason Kingsley, CEO of Rebellion, in a statement.
Good Shepherd’s mission is to pair world-class

Season 2 of Good Omens wasn’t really ever supposed to happen. The first season was originally planned as a miniseries, a one-and-done adaptation of Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett’s classic 1990 novel. After the first season of Good Omens left the question of Aziraphale and Crowley’s relationship dangling, fans read and wrote fic by the truckload, imagining all the different ways things might play out after the fall of the curtain. But when season 2 was, in fact, greenlit by Amazon, there was always going to be a question of how closely the continuation would hew to the reams of imagined ever-afters from the collective mind of fandom. And the result is… actually remarkably close to what the fanfic thought it might be.
The big tournament with high stakes is a critical trope in fantasy books, movies, and games. Grim, realistic medieval worlds and high-concept fantasy worlds with magic and dragons both tend to have tournaments with banners, jousting, and giant turkey legs. It’s a comforting staple of the fantasy genre, and it’s one that World of Warcraft players recreated in June to fundraise for those affected by the Turkey-Syria earthquake in February.
After a relatively cozy and oddly happy season, Good Omens broke everyone’s hearts — but in the best way possible.

Out of universe, Marvel artists design a book’s worth of high-fashion redesigns of superhero costumes, and Marvel writers invent the biggest wrench they can possibly throw into X-Men continuity.
