“The Book of Sages” lore book coming in 2017.
Titan Comics is partnering with PlatinumGames and Microsoft Studios to release comics based on the studio’s upcoming action role-playing game Scalebound.
Through this new partnership, Titan will publish entirely new stories that center around the game’s main character Drew and his dragon Thuban. The comics will hit in 2017, although it wasn’t stated how many there would be or if they are going to be ongoing or limited series.
“We are thrilled to team up with one of the hottest developers in the video game industry to create Scalebound comics,” sales and marketing manager Ricky Claydon said in a statement. “These comics will expand the lore of the games to appeal to an even wider audience!”
Additionally, Titan Books will release a Scalebound lore book called The Book of Sages sometime next year. It’s an illustrated, in-universe book written and annotated by the main characters and will have the look and feel of an artifact taken from the world of Scalebound.
The Scalebound video game is slated to release for both Xbox One and PC in 2017. For more on PlatinumGames’ dragon-centric action game, find out what creative director Hideki Kamiya shared with IGN at E3 2016 about how the game is shaping up.
