A Video Game Based on the Narcos Television Series is in the Works

UK-based publishers Curve Digital have announced today that they have partnered with Gaumont, the oldest film company in the world and producer of the hit Netflix series Narcos, to produce a video based on the television series.

According to Curve Digital, the game will be developed by their sister company, Kuju. Jason Perkins – Curve Digital MD – praised the partnership, calling Narcos the perfect show to bring to the world of games. “This critically acclaimed show from Gaumont lends itself perfectly to a video game execution and we’re excited and proud to be bringing this to market.”

For those unaware, Narcos chronicles the true-life rise to power of one of the most infamous drug kingpins in the world, Pablo Escobar. The first two seasons chronicle his rise to power and constant struggles with the Drug Enforcement Administration, while the latter two seasons (Season 4 is still in production) detail the fall of Escobar and the rise of other Cartels across the world.
