Is a Judge Dredd video game in the works?
Reading time: 1 minute
There's talk going around that Judge Dredd could be about the get the video game treatment again. Although considering his popularity, he's made surprisingly few video game appearances over the years.
There was a 1995 game released alongside that year's film starring Sylvester Stallone, followed by Rebellion's very own Judge Dredd game in 2003. There's also a fun mobile game, Judge Dredd vs. Zombies by Rebellion as well. But if Rebellion founder Jason Kingsley's latest comments are anything to go by, it looks like our favourite lawman could be making a welcome return to gaming soon.
Speaking exclusively to Express Online, Kingsley said that Rebellion was open to licensing its intellectual properties to third-party developers.
"One thing I said about a year ago is that I was opening up the intellectual property catalogue to third-parties. We've had a lot of interest in that. A few deals have been done, not announced yet, because we'e working on stuff. But we've had a lot of people interested in working with us, and their visions for our intellectual properties, which is really exciting."
"So hopefully, I would reckon towards the end of this year/beginning of next, we'll start to see the fruits of that and start to announce things that we're working on and show people what’s going on. Fingers crossed we’ll get some more 2000 AD games soon."
When asked specifically about a Judge Dredd game, he said: "Well Judge Dredd is obviously one of our major comic book characters so I would be surprised if there wasn't going to be some activity around Judge Dredd, but we're not actually announcing anything."
Come on Rebellion, we need another Judge Dredd game!
