Gaming

Drawing inspiration predominantly from folklore, mythology, alternative science, classic novels and historical events, Legendo Entertainment has produced such reputable works as Dracula Twins, which pays homage to classic literary works by Bram Stoker, Three Musketeers: One For All! which is a nod to Alexandre Dumas, as well as the Attack on Pearl Harbor and Pearl Harbor Trilogy series, inspired by the events of World War II.

Currently, multiple video game titles are in development. Legendo Entertainment has partnered with Nintendo, Microsoft and Apple for the release of Dracula Twins R2: School's Out,[1] as well as Serpents In the Mist,[2] a turn-based tabletop strategy game. These titles will be released for several popular gaming platforms, namely Nintendo Switch, Xbox One and Apple TV.

Due to restructuring endeavors, the game development branch of the company has been on hiatus since 2014, the year of their latest video game release, FCB Pinball: The Official Pinball of FC Barcelona,[3] which was a digital pinball game featuring a football theme.

Multimedia

In late 2018, Legendo Entertainment began to take on various cross-media projects, separating the company into five departments: Legendo Games,[4] Legendo Comics,[5] Legendo Music,[6] Legendo Media and Legendo Animation,[7] each responsible for their respective families of media.

The company's first comic book project, Draugablíkk #101: To Særkland and Back Again,[5] is set to release in the Fall of 2019. Also in the Fall of 2019, Draugablíkk,[8] a pagan/metal band formed by a number of established but undisclosed artists under the supervision of Legendo Music, will be releasing a three-track EP entitled ÞRÍR: Serpents in the Mist. Later in the year, the band will release a full-length debut album entitled NÍU: Blood of the Amali. Draugablíkk features heavy tones inspired by Norse, Scythian, Gothic and Celtic folklore[8] which plunge the listener headfirst into a world of shamanic mystery and mythical conflict.

Legendo Entertainment is also currently developing its debut animation project, Dracula Twins: Moonskull Hexademy,[7] which will feature the notorious Dracula Twins in an all new setting and medium.
