Adi Shankar shared more details about Captain Laserhawk on Twitter, confirming it'll be a "cyberpunk dystopia set in 1992."

"Think Captain N: The Game Masters but good. The animation is being done by Bobbypills. We've blended a plethora of art styles to deliver a visually distinct nostalgic acid trip. Mehdi Leffad is our series director. Artist "Balak" is the creative director of Bobby Pills also overseeing this production."

Netflix is also making a new Castlevania spin-off starring Richter Belmont (Rondo of Blood): "An all new series starring Richter Belmont (the son of Sypha and Trevor) and Maria Renard, set in France during the French Revolution, is currently in the works."

Other video game Netflix shows include:

Cuphead - Follow the misadventures of the impulsive Cuphead and his cautious but persuadable brother Mugman in this animated series based on the hit video game.

Arcane - New show based on League of Legends
