A while back we had the wonderful opportunity to pitch a Red Dwarf adventure game directly to Doug Naylor himself. While the project didn't end up going ahead, we're now free to share some of the work we produced for the pitch!

The Champion may have destroyed entire planets, but he has never faced the Knights of Doom! The fourth team to enter the fray in MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls is led by Doctor Doom, joined by a host of villains as new playable characters: Magneto, Green Goblin, and Carnage! youtu.be/TI4qG-wqhLc
