Lone Wolf, a popular series of gamebooks from the 1980’s, is being used as source material for an upcoming mobile game. “Joe Dever is a world-class fantasy author. His ‘Lone Wolf’ series of gamebooks have long been an international success and have earned him a rightful place as one of Britain’s most imaginative fiction writers,” said Baccalario. “But he is also a wonderful game designer with several bestselling computer games to his credit.
We are honored and excited to be working with him and Forge Reply on this new Lone Wolf story, especially as it will be told in a truly innovative way. We are confident that old and new fans of ‘Lone Wolf’ will be thrilled by what we are creating here.” “The pre-production phase of Joe Dever’s Lone Wolf is now complete, and we’re very much looking forward to showing the public the fruits of our labours at the Lucca Comics and Games Show,” said Alessandro Mazzega of Forge Reply. “I’m confident that they will be impressed by our ‘Next Generation’ approach to interactive fantasy fiction.”

The development team grew up reading my “Lone Wolf” adventure gamebooks. They are all devoted fans of the creatures, the characters, and the many stories I have written about Lone Wolf and the world of Magnamund,” said Joe Dever. “It is a genuine delight for me to be working with such a talented team that understand and share my original vision.”
