Believe it or not, I used to readArchiecomics. Y’know,Archie. First created in 1939, continuing today, still adhering to the principles of theComics Code Authority.That Archie. And it’s getting a game.
Archie’s Riverdale Run, developed by fXLabs of Hyderabad, is scheduled for release on the PC – and eventually consoles. According to the description, it willfinallyallow players to “assume the roles of Archie, Betty, Veronica, Jughead, or Reggie as they explore the town of Riverdale solving fun and challenging missions.” Couldn’t have happened soon enough, I say.
You’ll have “12-14 hours of engaging game play” in which to experience the world ofArchiecomics rendered in full 3D! That’s the bee’s knees, daddy-o!
Check below for a grand, epic trailer cued to contemporaryArchie-themed music. The music is…well, it’ssomething, but still can’t match“Sugar Sugar”in my mind.
It’s likeFallout 3‘s Tranquility Lane, except in color. Andcompletely serious. This is a thing that is happening.
