Rebellion

Independent game developer and publisher

Overview

Rebellion develops and publishes video games and also creates content for books, comics, TV and film. Its games, such as Sniper Elite, emphasize authentic stealth and sniper action for PC and console players. The company differentiates itself by owning major IP assets—like the 2000 AD archive—and running its own film studio, enabling a cross-media ecosystem instead of just pure game development. Its goal is to grow as a cross-media entertainment company that expands its IP across games, comics, TV and film.

Simplify's take

What believers are saying

  • Rebellion launched weekly 2000 AD US distribution with Lunar in 2026.
  • October 2026 partnerships with Palace, Nacelle, and McFarlane broaden Judge Dredd monetization.
  • Alien Deathstorm and Rogue Trooper film create new 2026-2027 cross-media revenue drivers.

What critics are saying

  • Alien Deathstorm is still unproven; 2027 launch slip kills licensing momentum.
  • 2000 AD’s 50th-anniversary push depends on external partners like Good Shepherd and McFarlane.
  • One failed Sniper Elite cycle would expose Rebellion’s heavy reliance on shooter hits.

What makes Rebellion unique

  • Rebellion owns 2000 AD, Judge Dredd, and Rogue Trooper, plus original game IP.
  • Sniper Elite and Zombie Army give Rebellion proven AAA shooter franchises.
  • Rebellion spans comics, games, merchandise, and film, unlike single-medium studios.

Good Shepherd Entertainment, a division of Devolver Digital, has partnered with Rebellion to make games based on Rebellion’s 2000 AD comic books.The comic book property, which Rebellion purchased in 2000, includes intellectual properties such as Sláine, Judge Dredd and Rogue Trooper. The agreement includes game adaptations of stories from 2000 AD, as well as Rebellion’s other comic intellectual property including Roy of the Rovers and Battle Action.Good Shepherd has been producing games since 2011 with hits like Monster Train and the Transport Fever franchises. Amanda Kruse, head of business development and publishing for Good Shepherd, said in an interview with GamesBeat, that the adaptation space has been strong in recent years as game makers go after entertainment brands like John Wick.“We are huge fans of Rebellion and 2000 AD,” said Kruse. “It’s still early days, but building this out with partners who understand the art of adaptation across mediums has been incredible. We are excited to bring fans the hits they are expecting, but even more excited to play with the deep cuts in the library.”Rebellion was founded in 1992 and is one of the world’s most successful independent game studios
