Video Game

WHY IT WORKS IN THIS MEDIUM:

Video games are the perfect medium for exploring storyworlds. This game would be one that is similar to Drakes Uncharted, where you can explore the world but there are missions and an end goal. This would be a great opportunity to attract younger demographics they may not find the television show or movie appealing.

Wide Release (XBOX, PS4)

WHY IT WORKS IN THIS PLATFORM:

Even though a lot of entertainment has gone almost completely digital, the gaming industry is still one that remains strong with consoles. XBOX and PlayStation remain the industry standard
