Do you know who John Carter is? You probably don't, but you at least probably have heard of him. In particular, his 2012 sci-fi action movie is widely considered one of the biggest box office duds in Hollywood, grossing only $284 million worldwide against an estimated $350 million budget, with the majority of it going to production costs.
With that said, before becoming the exact opposite of a blockbuster, John Carter was originally a part of a series of sci-fi novels written by the 20th-century writer, Edgar Rice Burroughs.
Now, from the big screen, one of the oldest action heroes in the world is set to star in his own video game.
What Is John Carter: Warlord of Mars?
The new John Carter video game will be named John Carter: Warlord of Mars. It will be a first-person action-adventure title with Tanglewood Games as its developer. The studio is made up of talented individuals who previously worked on Fortnite and Sea of Thieves. FNCPR will be publishing the game with Edgar Rice Burrouhs, Inc, also having a hand on it.
Set to release on the PC, John Carter: Warlord of Mars will be set near the end of World War II in 1945. In the game, John Carter is a war veteran. He'll suddenly find himself transported to Barsoom, otherwise known as Mars, by the Nazis, who has apparently been secretly working on the said teleporting technology.
