Game based on TV's 'Dexter' unveiled
American TV series Dexter is to be made into a video game after Marc Ecko Entertainment announced it has signed an agreement with TV firm Showtime Networks.

The Emmy-winning show, which began airing on ITV last week, follows Dexter Morgan, a forensic blood spatter expert for the Miami Dade Police Department. But behind his respectable persona, Morgan is a serial killer who hunts down people who have escaped justice.

Dexter is the extremely rare TV show with enough layers of action and tension to translate perfectly into a compelling video game,” said Marc Fernandez, vice president of Marc Ecko Entertainment. “Our game designers, writers, and artists are going to give Dexter’s morally complex world the kind of interactivity that gamers will love.”

The Dexter game is now in pre-production and Showtime Networks and Marc Ecko Entertainment are in talks with a handful of developers to bring it to life.
