New Hire – Narrative Director

The Rivals team is excited to announce our latest addition to the studio – Ian Flynn! We’ll be welcoming Ian as our new Narrative Director for the greater Aether universe. As the world of Aether expands beyond platform fighting we’re looking forward to the stories we can tell with his help.

Ian brings with him over 15 years of professional storytelling experience. Best known for his work with Archie Comics, he’s written on both Sonic the Hedgehog and Mega Man along with a myriad of other popular IPs ranging from games to television. He is currently the lead writer for IDW’s Sonic book (among other titles).

Ian also produces his own original series, Drogune, a science-fantasy epic that you can read online:

#Drogune is a science-fantasy epic brought to you by @IanFlynnBKC (Writer) & @AdamBryceThomas (Artist)
