Rolling coverage of the latest economic and financial news
Games Workshop, the tabletop gaming company, has reached an agreement with Amazon to develop its Warhammer 40,000 game into films and television series.
Games Workshop has told the City that it has granted Amazon exclusive rights to films and television series set within hit franchise Warhammer 40,000, the science-fiction fantasy miniature war game.
Games Workshop and Amazon will work together for a period of 12 months to agree creative guidelines for the films and television series to be developed by Amazon.
The agreement will only proceed once the creative guidelines are mutually agreed between Games Workshop and Amazon.
A year after announcing its ‘agreement in principle’ with Amazon, GAW has today announced that the deal has been signed to develop 40k into films and TV series.
There will be a 12-month period to agree creative guidelines, but we had always anticipated an extended timeline (up to 3yrs) until 40k actually hits the screens.
