Symbolum Venatores Ends Prose Series, Expanding into Games and Animation

It began with Gabriel Kane in 2020 and it will end with Gabriel Kane in 2024.

The Dark Titan Company has officially announced the Symbolum Venatores Prose Series will end in Spring 2024 with Symbolum Venatores, a new rebranded collection of Gabriel Kane’s stories.

This decision came about after a discussion regarding the transmedia potential of the IP. Symbolum Venatores is an IP which focuses on monster hunters throughout human history. With history as its playbook, the IP is abundant across various mediums of storytelling. Keeping it within the boundaries of prose will only cause the IP to become stagnant. With The Dark Titan Company now official, the plans are in motion to expedite the IP’s growth in other mediums, primarily in games and animation.

So far there have been a total of four prose titles released from the IP. (Symbolum Venatores: The Gabriel Kane Collection, Hod, Symbolum Venatores: War of The Two Kingdoms, Symbolum Venatores: Twilight of the Gods) with the next installment, Symbolum Venatores: The Monster Hunter set to release on October 13th.

Projects in the works outside of prose are Symbolum Venatores: Mystery of the Magician: a story set to be an animated film, Symbolum Venatores: The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, a limited-series set to also be in animation. Other projects previously announced are The Graphic Novel Trilogy, which is a direct sequel to Twilight of the Gods and a Symbolum Venatores Manga.

From this business change, the two final prose titles, Hallow Hunt and Revelation of Hunters will be moved to other mediums, more likely animation or games. This is due to their increased story structure, one that gives the opportunity for a more wider experience into the Symbolum Venatores IP that the prose books cannot deliver.

For now, only two prose titles remain from the IP as Gabriel Kane’s final stories will conclude outside of the prose medium.

Symbolum Venatores: The Monster Hunter releases on October 13th and Symbolum Venatores releases in Spring 2024.
