\nSega is delving deep into its enviable IP archive to bring the world an animated adaptation of its 1989 side-scrolling arcade beat-’em-up Golden Axe.\n<\/p>\n

\nSega’s Golden Axe series is being developed by Comedy Central, and promises to be a “hilarious and loving homage” to the medieval fantasy games. It’ll follow veteran warriors Ax Battler, Tyris Flare, and Gilius Thunderhead – all once again venturing forth to save Yuria from the evil giant Death Adder – and they’ll be joined by “inexperienced and underprepared” first-time adventurer Hampton Squib, who’s “dreamt of questing his entire life”.\n<\/p>\n

\nGolden Axe will span ten animated episodes, with American Dad scribe Joe Chandler serving as show runner on the series. Additionally, Comedy Central has revealed a “star-studded” cast, which includes Matthew Rhys (The Americans), Danny Pudi (Community, Mythic Quest), Liam McIntyre (Spartacus), Carl Tart (Star Trek: Lower Decks), and Lisa Gilroy (Glamorous).\n<\/p>\n
