Aurora Noir is based on artist Tim Razumovsky’s universe, which combines neo-noir aesthetics with retro science fiction. He is working with Studios Extraordinaires to develop the project into TV series, films and books.
Expeditions is an adaptation of an upcoming console game from Malmö-based game studio Infinite Mana Games. TV series and films are planned.
Space Marshals is another game adaptation, and is being pitched as an animated TV and film project. Earlier this month, Studios Extraordinaires struck a deal with Helsingborg-based game studio Pixelbite to develop the latter’s iOS and Android top-down third-person shooter game, whose third edition was recently named Apple Game of the Year.
