Vampire Survivors gets animated show - by Sonic Movie producer and John Wick writer/creator
Developer poncle, with the help of games consulting agency Robot Teddy, is working with Story Kitchen (headed by Dmitri Johnson, co-producer of the Sonic the Hedgehog movie series, John Wick writer/creator Derek Kolstad and former APA agent/partner Mike Goldberg) to bring the animated Vampire Survivors series to life.
News Summary
The garlic-loving, genre-defining, BAFTA winning indie hit Vampire Survivors is getting an animated series!
The show will be created by media company Story Kitchen - headed by Dmitri Johnson, co-producer of the Sonic the Hedgehog movie series, John Wick writer/creator Derek Kolstad and former APA agent/partner Mike Goldberg - alongside Vampire Survivors’ developer poncle and the support of games consulting agency Robot Teddy.
Quote from developer poncle:
"The most important thing in Vampire Survivors is the story, so it's a dream come true to see what started as a little indie game I made on my weekends come to life as an animated TV show! It’s also great to be partnering up with such experienced and talented people to make the show. I do wonder if they've realised that there isn't a single vampire in Vampire Survivors, though,” says Luca Galante, founder of poncle.
Quote from Robot Teddy:
"Collaborating with poncle on Vampire Survivors has been a coffin-load of fun. And now, with Story Kitchen on board, we're thrilled to be adding even more depth to the world of the undead. We can't wait to sink our teeth into this project and help bring together this uncanny combination of thrilling storytelling, excellent animation, and undeadly creatures," said Alessandro Bovenzi, Director of Business Development at Robot Teddy.
