Orange Comet Further Expands Gaming Portfolio

LOS ANGELES /PRNewswire/ — Orange Comet, a leading next-generation gaming and entertainment company, today announced its partnership to develop Barry Sonnenfeld’s Dinosaurs vs. Aliens into a first-of-its-kind action packed and cinematically driven Web3 enabled video game that will bring iconic prehistoric and other-worldly creatures to life in a never before seen way. Based on the 2012 graphic novel created by Sonnenfeld and Grant Morrison about a secret world war battle that was never recorded in our history books, the game is currently in early development by Orange Comet.

Orange Comet x “Dinosaurs vs. Aliens”

On the heels of its recent partnership with Mysten Labs, which announced the launch of three new titles, including the upcoming The Walking Dead: Lands, the news of Dinosaurs vs. Aliens further demonstrates how Orange Comet is pushing the boundaries of innovation and imagination to deliver unparalleled gameplay. Founded in 2020, Orange Comet leverages innovative and imaginative technology to create next-level Web3 enabled video games for players worldwide, captivating and transporting audiences into new realms of entertainment, while monetizing Hollywood’s most treasured franchises and IP. 

“Orange Comet is committed to unlocking the limitless power of the blockchain, enabling entertainment across worlds never explored before,” said Dave Broome, CEO of Orange Comet. “With Dinosaurs vs. Aliens, we are excited to expand our gaming portfolio as we set a path for Orange Comet’s first original gaming project, evolving this celebrated narrative into a truly bespoke gaming experience that allows players and fans to embark on an extraordinary journey with today’s most sophisticated technology at the helm.”

The partnership first came to life when Sharad Devarajan, co-founder of Liquid Comics (the publisher of ‘Dinosaurs vs. Aliens’) approached Sonnenfeld with an idea of reimagining the graphic novel story by way of Web3 enabled games and online digital experiences. Devarajan connected with Broome who soon began to think of unique ways to bring this imaginative story into life through gaming and Web3 technology, and to do so in a way that fully immerses gamers and fans into an alternate universe, where they too can be a part of the story. 

“As soon as I met Dave Broome and his team, I became incredibly excited about the possibilities Orange Comet could bring to the Dinosaurs vs. Aliens  IP,” said Barry Sonnenfeld, Creator of Dinosaurs vs. Aliens. “Even as Grant Morrison and I were working on the initial graphic novel, I imagined how much potential the concept lent itself towards gaming. I can’t wait to see this next chapter of Dinosaurs vs. Aliens come to life as a Web3 game.”

Orange Comet, led by entertainment industry veteran Dave Broome, is a passion-driven company creating industry-defining web3 enabled games with Hollywood-style production quality. Building on its continued expansion and growth, Orange Comet has also welcomed Peter Morales as its newest Chief Technology Officer & Head of Gaming, joining the company’s unique team of industry experts with backgrounds ranging from AAA gaming to television, movies and award-winning creative design.
