Sega Classic Golden Axe Gets Stage Play Adaptation in Japan

Hah, Japanese culture, ya gotta love it! Here’s something you don’t see every day. Theatrical unit Spiral Chariots announced that it’s going to a stage play adaptation of Sega‘s Golden Axe arcade game. The play is going to run from December 19-23, 2018, at Buddhist Hall in Tokyo. The Golden Axe Stage Play Adaptation is being directed by Seiji Hattori and features performers and actors Kunta, Haruka Kohara, Shōta Minami, Seiji Hattori, Dai Nakane, Shōta Yamada, Takuma Endō, Mahiru Komatsuzaki, and Chizu Hanasaki.

This is actually, Spiral Chariots’ second stage adaptation of a Sega video game, after they did Sega‘s Rent a Hero game that debuted in January.

Sega debuted the first game in the Golden Axe series in 1989. And boy was it big bag then. Players could choose one of three playable characters, each with specific abilities, in a journey to defeat the dark lord Death Adder. Of course, it was all about axe swinging and sword slicing.

Now, if you happen to be eager to experience this classic on your PlayStation 4, you can by all means do so. PlayStation Now offers SEGA games in its massive library (which includes around 500 titles), including Sonic Adventure, Sonic Adventure 2, Comix Zone, Virtua Fighter 2, and Golden Axe.
