Legendo Entertainment is a Sweden-based entertainment company, led by CEO Björn Larsson. Founded as Iridon Interactive in 1998, the company adopted its current title in 2004. Until late 2018, Legendo Entertainment was a dedicated video game company, taking on the creation, development and publishing of various third-party titles through external development teams; since 2018, the company has taken on several multimedia projects, including comics, music, and animation.
Drawing inspiration predominantly from folklore, mythology, alternative science, classic novels and historical events, Legendo Entertainment has produced such works as Dracula Twins, which pays homage to classic literary works by Bram Stoker, Three Musketeers: One For All! which is a nod to Alexandre Dumas, as well as the Attack on Pearl Harbor and Pearl Harbor Trilogy series, inspired by the events of World War II. Legendo's most recent game was FCB Pinball (2014), a digital pinball game featuring a football theme.[1]
In late 2018, Legendo Entertainment began to take on various cross-media projects, separating the company into five departments: Legendo Games, Legendo Comics, Legendo Music, Legendo Media, and Legendo Animation.[2] Legendo Comics's first literary release, Wolfwar Saga: Varangian, is a graphic essay written by Philip Madden and Björn Larsson.[3]
Several games are in development at Legendo, including Dracula Twins R2: School's Out, the sequel to Dracula Twins,[4] and Valhalla Tactics: Vikings & Varangians, a turn-based tabletop strategy game,[5] both for Nintendo Switch, Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.[4] [5] Muskerados: The Three Musketeers Redemastered, an action game based on the novel The Three Musketeers, is in development for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.[6]
Legendo Entertainment is also developing its debut animation project, Dracula Twins: Vampire Vacademy, based on the Dracula Twins video games. It is scheduled for release in 2024.[7]
