Classic Sega Game Golden Axe Is Being Adapted Into An Animated Series

The first episode will be co-written by Mike McMahan, Star Trek: Lower Decks creator, and Joe Chandler, a producer for American Dad. These two industry veterans will also serve as executive producers for the series, with Chandler taking on the role of showrunner.

The duo plans to revitalize the classic side-scrolling beat ’em up arcade game with a 10-episode series. Fans will see their favorite characters embark on a new journey; veteran warriors Ax Battler, Tyris Flare, and Gilius Thunderhead will once again strive to rescue Yuria from the relentless Death Adder, with the support of novice Hampton Squib.
