History

Drawing inspiration predominantly from folklore, mythology, alternative science, classic novels and historical events, Legendo Entertainment has produced such works as Dracula Twins, which pays homage to classic literary works by Bram Stoker, Three Musketeers: One For All! which is a nod to Alexandre Dumas, as well as the Attack on Pearl Harbor and Pearl Harbor Trilogy series, inspired by the events of World War II.[1] Legendo's most recent game was FCB Pinball (2014), a digital pinball game featuring a football theme.[2]

In late 2018, Legendo Entertainment began to take on various cross-media projects, separating the company into five departments: Legendo Games, Legendo Comics, Legendo Music, Legendo Media, and Legendo Animation.[1] Legendo Comics's first literary release, Wolfwar Saga: Varangian, is a graphic essay written by Vinithor Amal.[3]

In 2019, Legendo Music supervised the release of a three-track EP titled ÞRÍR: Serpents in the Mist by Draugablíkk,[4] described as a "Hunno-Gothic" band in reference to the Huns and Goths.[5] The band's music is inspired by Norse mythology, Scythian warfare, and Vedic folklore.[6] In 2020, Draugablíkk released a full-length debut album entitled NÍU: Blood of the Amali.[7]

Two games are in development at Legendo: Dracula Twins R2: School's Out, the sequel to Dracula Twins,[8] and Winds of Valhalla: Vikings & Varangians, a turn-based tabletop strategy game.[9] Both games are in development for Nintendo Switch, Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.[8][9]

Legendo Entertainment is also developing its debut animation project, Dracula Twins: Vampire Vacademy, based on the Dracula Twins video games. It is scheduled for release in 2024.[10]
