Hit TV Show Grimm Getting a Videogame Adaptation
Procedural cop show with a supernatural twist, Grimm is getting a spin off game. With the success of games based on The Walking Dead, Game of Thrones and Auf Wiedersehen Pet, GAMESCO have decided to join the party with an online survival game. This is a big project for the newly formed developer and they're hoping that it will make their mark on the industry prominent.
Currently airing for a fifth season on NBC in America and Watch in the UK, Grimm is a drama series inspired by the classic Grimm Brothers' Fairy Tales. Portland homicide detective Nick Burkhardt (played by David Giuntoli) discovers he's descended from an elite line of criminal profilers known as 'Grimms', charged with keeping balance between humanity and the mythological creatures of the world. After his discovery he increasingly finds his responsibilities as a detective at odds with his new responsibilities as a Grimm.
“The richness of the Grimm universe lends itself perfectly to becoming an incredible gaming experience and it’s an honour to be able to make this a reality” said Rob Ollett, CEO of GAMESCO. “Creating a game based on the Grimm TV series is a perfect demonstration of our ambitions as a new type of networked video game publisher, matchmaking the great development talent at Artplant with this rich and creative license from Universal Partnerships & Licensing.”
