We'll believe it when we see it.

Polygon reports that habitually unmotivated artist Joe Madureira's Battle Chasers comic book series is being made into a video game by Madureira's company, Vigil. The comic series ended a decade and a half ago when Madureira gave up after nine issues and didn't feel like drawing it anymore, just like every single comic he's ever worked on. Enough time has passed that Madureira has apparently regained interest in the series, which ended without wrapping up its storylines.

He is reportedly considering publishing more Battle Chasers comics as well, in three issue arcs, presumably with fifteen year breaks in between. His first order of business will be to wrap up the fifteen year old story he left dangling, as he jokes, "so people will stop asking." That's a joke because nobody was asking; nobody cares anymore. Fool us once and all that.

The Battle Chasers game doesn't have a publisher yet, but it is being targeted at PC and consoles and will be somewhat similar to Vigil's Darksiders series. They're also looking into branching the series out into cartoons so that Madureira can give up on projects in three different mediums simultaneously, a new record.

The Outhouse asked Madureira for comment on the revival of the popular series, to which he replied, "I think the time is ripe for me to update this property, since I've evolved as an artist and a storyteller and I..." before losing interest in the conversation and moving on to something else without even letting us know.

Look for this game on shelves sometime in 2047, give or take a decade.
