A new deal between Nuttery Entertainment and Bandi Namco Entertainment has been struck to develop an animated series based on the arcade game, Galaga. Bandi Namco, who owns the rights to Galga, is tasking Nuttery with creating all new stories and characters based on the game which will be called, Galaga Chronicles.
“We are incredibly honored to be able to work on such an amazing legacy property and help launch it into the animated space,” Nuttery's Magnus Jansson said. “There is such a deep love for this game from fans around the world, and our team is excited make sure the next chapter in the Galaga saga is equally impressive and inspiring as its humble 8-bit beginnings.”
Hirotaka Watanabe, an executive at Bandai Namco added, “While the re-imagining of the game into animation will be unique and, for the first time in Galaga’s history, story- and character-based, there is also a great respect for its history."
Galaga Chronicles is in the development stage, and currently does not have a release date.
