There’s a TV show coming based on *****’s classic arcade game Golden Axe

Comedy Central just greenlit a cartoon based on the classic ***** arcade cabinet Golden Axe, further proving we are in something of a gilded age of video game adaptations. The animated show is getting a ten-episode first season and features a voice cast filled with comedic heavy hitters, like Danny Pudi from Community and Carl Tart from Grand Crew (RIP) and the

It also stars Matthew Rhys, from The Americans and Perry Mason, and comedian Lisa Gilroy. The pilot is being written by Mike McMahon, the creator of Star Trek: Lower Decks and Solar Opposites, and Joe Chandler, a regular writer for ********* Dad. Chandler is the showrunner and McMahon is on board as the executive producer. Interestingly, several big ***** names are also involved with the show, including Haruki Satomi, Shuki Utsumi and Toru Nakahara, the latter being largely responsible for shepherding the Sonic the Hedgehog cinematic universe.

The plot looks appropriately zany, as there wasn’t too much story in those old arcade cabinets. The show bills itself as a “hilarious and loving homage to *****’s 1989 video game series” and follows several warriors as they attempt to save the realm from franchise antagonist ****** Adder. It does look to be doing a deep ***** on the franchise, as one of the characters is the panther/man hybrid ****** from Golden Axe III. Comedy Central promises “plenty of exciting cameos” from the fictional world. There’s no release date yet and the show is still in the script-writing stage. Animation takes a long time, so hold your horses.

We’ve really gone from zero to sixty when it comes to game adaptations, right? In just the past year, we’ve had shows based on The Last of Us, Fallout, Twisted Metal and more. There’s also a little-known movie about two Italian plumbers that may or may not have set the box office on *****. A TV show based on another ***** property, Knuckles, premieres April 26 on Paramount+.

As for Golden Axe, there hasn’t been a franchise installment since 2008, though that’s about to change. ***** recently announced that its rebooting the property, alongside other classics like Crazy Taxi and Jet Set Radio.
