Marc Ecko Entertainment and Showtime Networks have joined forces to create a game based on the hit TV show Dexter. More details will be announced in upcoming months.
Dexter follows Dexter Morgan, a
forensic blood spatter expert for the Miami Dade Police Department
whose perfectly respectable persona hides a dark compulsion: he is a
serial killer who hunts down people who have escaped justice.
“Dexter
is the extremely rare TV show with enough layers of action and tension
to translate perfectly into a compelling videogame,” said Marc
Fernandez, Vice President of Marc Ecko Entertainment. “Our game
designers, writers, and artists are going to give Dexter’s morally
complex world the kind of interactivity that gamers will love.”
"Dexter
is one of the most popular shows on Showtime with a particularly strong
fan base among gamers. It’s a very logical jump to create a game with
the website IGN.com naming it 2007’s ‘Best Television Program’," said
Len Fogge, Executive Vice President, Marketing, Digital Media and
Research at Showtime Networks. "We’re confident Marc Ecko
Entertainment’s team has the unique talents to take Dexter to the
interactive space in the right way.”
Marc
Ecko Entertainment handled the production side of 2005’s Getting Up and
is currently working on an untitled project with developer Human Head.
The Dexter game is in pre-production and Showtime Networks and Marc
Ecko Entertainment are in talks with a handful of developers to bring
the game to life.
