LOS ANGELES, Dec. 15, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Arcade
legend Galaga grows its animated brand extension with a new
creative team, a Live Galaga World Championship and future
immersive entertainment plans.
The Nuttery Entertainment teams up with creative powerhouse Meow
Wolf to develop Galaga Chronicles — an animated series based on
BANDAI NAMCO's cult classic game. Meow Wolf will collaborate with
The Nuttery on the reimagining of the legacy Galaga brand and
extend the wide-reaching multimedia platform by bridging animated
content, physical exhibitions, merchandise, live media, and a new,
annual gaming competition series, "Score Wars" that will launch
with Galaga World Championship on March
29 – April 1, 2018.
This multifaceted, interactive and immersive approach to story
and community distinguishes Santa Fe, New
Mexico-based Meow Wolf and their Meow Wolf Entertainment
production company as a most proven unique creative partner.
"Meow Wolf's work with The Nuttery to evolve classic 80s
arcade magic into 21st century vision and experience is huge news
for gamers old and new," said Vince
Kadlubek, Meow Wolf CEO. "There's been a lot of exciting
productions in this area in recent years, but Galaga Chronicles
will set a new standard."
The Nuttery Entertainment, a digital entertainment studio based
in Sweden and Los Angeles, first announced Galaga Chronicles
this summer at the San Diego Comic Con. The first installment in
the brand extension will be an anime-inspired series tentatively
titled Galaga Chronicles | Revolution Age.
"We couldn't be more excited to have this level of creativity
and craftsmanship on board our space adventure. Meow Wolf brings an
extra dimension to the development and production. They are
breaking new ground with every project they take on. We are very
happy to partner up and bring an amazing origin story for Galaga to
the anime sci-fi world." – Magnus
Jansson, CEO of The Nuttery Entertainment.
