Graewolv AB today announces its partnership with the Malmö-based production company Studios Extraordinaires, spearheaded by André Hedetoft and Andreas Troedsson, to adapt tactical horror FPS VEIL into a feature film.
VEIL is an exciting new IP from Graewolv; a dark, stylish, and deadly world, filled with action-horror adventures, based around occult societies in the city of Velumgrad. Faustian bargains are being struck between demonic creatures from a parallel world and ambitious humans seeking godlike powers. As The Veil grows in their city, these anti-heroes find themselves trapped between their ambition, their demonic patrons, and the growing animosity among Velumgrad’s factions.
Recently unveiled through a pre-alpha gameplay trailer, VEIL is already generating buzz and is available for wishlist on Steam. In this co-op tactical FPS you play as a modern-day battlemage and team up with other warlocks in the search for occult knowledge and artifacts.
Founded with a vision to blend cutting-edge concepts with broad appeal, Graewolv is dedicated to crafting original media franchises that resonate with audiences globally and telling stories across video games, comic books, and films.
“We are very pleased to partner with Studios Extraordinaires with the mutual ambition to bring the VEIL universe to bigger screens. For us, it’s a natural step to building VEIL into a transmedia franchise, and Extraordinaires is a great partner in that endeavor”, says Martin Ekdal, Founder and Creative Director of Graewolv. “We can see several success stories of late where gaming IP was adapted to linear, but we see VEIL’s journey differently. Not as an afterthought, something brought about once a game is successful; we are building our IP ground up for transmedia storytelling.”
Studios Extraordinaires, a creative powerhouse spearheaded by André Hedetoft and Andreas Troedsson, specializes in crafting high-end action, horror, and science-fiction films inspired by original stories and extraordinary games.
“The concept of this veil serving as a conduit between our world and another, allowing Faustian deals to unfold, captivated us instantly. It’s akin to a demonically charged John Wick if you will”. – says André Hedetoft and Andreas Troedsson of Studios Extraordinaires “The universe crafted by Martin and the Graewolv team is unlike anything you have ever seen and we can’t wait to bring this demonic-powered action horror to life as a feature film”.
