Devolver has a new label dedicated to making games based on comics, films, TV shows and 'cult heroes'

Devolver will start publishing game adaptations of films, comics, TV shows and «cult heroes» under the label Big Fan, the company announced today.

As for what Big Fan has in the pipeline, representatives from the studio confirmed with Gamesindustry.biz that there are six active projects.

Videogame adaptations of films, TV, comics—you name it—used to have the reputation of being soulless, half-assed cash-ins, but the last
