Voltron Comic-Con panel includes THQ's video games
No matter how much our rational selves tell us that licensed games based on a rebooted Voltron won't be good -- can't be good -- there's a part of us that still holds out hope for a modern and awesome interactive Voltron. It's the "Voltron" part of our brains. We should get our first inkling about what THQ plans to do with the license on July 21, during the first-ever Voltron panel at Comic-Con. Among the robo-lion dignitaries scheduled to present at the panel is THQ producer Adam Affrunti. The panel is supposed to feature, among other things, a presentation of all the new Voltron content on the way -- including video games. We'll find out then just how dashed our tiny hopes are to be.
Report: THQ forming Voltron games
Variety reports that when the '80s hit Voltron relaunches on the airwaves later this year in the form of Voltron Force, there will be video games on shelves to herald its arrival. According to the article, the titles will be published by THQ, which has secured the exclusive ability to do so from rights holder World Events Productions. No further details were divulged, such as which developer (or developers) will be in charged of translating the cartoon -- which features a five-person team piloting robotic lions that combine to form the titular mega-robot -- into something we can actually play. We've contacted THQ for comment and will update when we hear back.
