The hit Amazon Prime Video fantasy series American Gods, adapted from Neil Gaiman’s 2001 novel, is being transformed by Skyrocket Entertainment into new gaming content and products migrated into the worldwide online gambling sector through its newly launched Skyrocket Studios division. Initially adapted by Bryan Fuller and Michael Green for Starz, American Gods is produced by Fremantle and distributed by Lionsgate Television.
Working in collaboration with the studio Bang Bang Games, known for games like Deal Or No Deal, Dumb and Dumber, and Austin Powers, American Gods will become an online gambling slot game, themed around the battle between Old Gods and New Gods.
The deal was struck between Fremantle’s VP of commercial and licensing, Angela Hueber, and Skyrocket CEO, Sean O’Kelly. Production for the game has commenced and is due to be delivered later this year.
Skyrocket Entertainment specializes in turning iconic Hollywood feature films and branded intellectual property rights into content for real and social money gaming. The company has acquired the international rights to 75 feature films including Rambo, The Expendables, and The Fallen franchise.
