Animated TV series adaptation of cyberpunk comic Killtopia announced

April 3, 2021 by Gary Collinson

An animated adaptation of Dave Cook and Craig Paton’s indie cyberpunk comic book series Killtopia is in the works, and will mark the debut project from Voltaku, a new hybrid studio focussing on virtual production and game engines.

Killtopia follows a bounty hunter and his robot sidekick through a futuristic megacity as they fight brutal thugs, augmented mercenaries and android assassins in a race to save the bounty hunter’s sister — and the world — from a deadly nano plague.

The series is being written by Phil Gelatt (Love, Death & Robots), with Oscar-nominated director Ruairi Robinson (The Last Days on Mars) helming, and will consist of eight 20-minute episodes, each developed completely using Unreal Engine.

“Game engines are giving studios a flexibility we’ve never seen before,” said Charles Borland, Voltaku CEO and co-founder. “When we option a project, it doesn’t have to stop with a movie or a TV series anymore. We can take our 3D production assets and build a game, VR/AR experiences, marketing materials, digital goods, basically anything we want, at The Lion King or Avatar-like production levels. And that’s exactly what ‘otaku’ are looking for — more ways to engage with the worlds they love.”
