Nintendo UK interview - From comics to Switch RPG with Battle Chasers: Nightwar

Former Marvel Comics artist Joe Madureira is equally well known in the video games world thanks to the epic Darksiders and Darksiders II. Now he’s merging the two mediums with the comic book adaptation Battle Chasers: Nightwar on Nintendo Switch! Here he details the characters and gameplay you can expect from the forthcoming RPG...

Nintendo UK: What inspired you to take the Battle Chasers comic and turn it into an RPG with Battle Chasers: Nightwar?

Joe Madureira: Battle Chasers was a comic book series that I created back in 1998. I did nine issues and then I actually got into the game industry, so that story was never finished. The series was so heavily influenced by anime and Japanese RPGs I was playing at that time, so when it came time to think about what this RPG was going to be, it seemed like a natural fit. The characters were already so inspired by games that they’d fit right in.
