Oh, the irony<\/h2>

DJ2 Entertainment has been making their rounds in the news lately \u2014 last month, they went public with news of their upcoming film adaptation of It Takes Two<\/a>.\u00a0<\/em>In the same vein, this time they’ve signed a first-look deal with Amazon<\/a>. Although DJ2 owns the film\/TV rights to all kinds of games, such as Disco Elysium, Life is Strange, Sleeping Dogs, Echo, Little Nightmares<\/em>, and many more, this deal basically means that Amazon gets first dibs on any of the IPs DJ2 owns, if they want them.<\/p>

\"Life<\/p>

With game-to-film\/TV adaptations becoming more and more prevalent, studios and production companies are doing their best to grab up rights as fast as they can \u2014 and this appears to be Amazon’s latest move to secure the bag.<\/p>

What this deal doesn’t mean is that any of these shows are in active production, but I’d wager that that’s going to change within the next few months.<\/p>

Properties like Disco Elysium<\/em> and\u00a0Life is Strange<\/em> in particular are hot right now, and would telegraph well to a serialized television format if executed well. So with all the rumors flying around, let’s set the record straight: these shows aren’t getting made… for now.<\/p>

ludonarrative dissonance is amazon studios producing the disco elysium tv show<\/p>
