From Game Lore to Graphic Novel: Willow Guard

Fiilin Good Films is collaborating with MiTale Game Studio on their original IP, Willow Guard. Together, we are adapting part of the game’s lore into a graphic novel.

The Willow Guard universe is rich with history, characters, and conflict. A graphic novel gives space to expand that mythology, explore character journeys in more depth, and bring the world to new audiences while staying true to the tone of the game.

This project also reflects the wider work we do with game studios. Our team supports IP growth across formats, helping stories find their strongest form. Our services include:

• Narrative development – story structure, dialogue, and character arcs.

• Visual storytelling – graphic novels, animation, trailers, teasers.

• Music and sound – defining atmosphere, talent and emotional tone.

• Creative consulting – strategies for transmedia expansion.

With Willow Guard, we are showing one route for a game IP to grow beyond the screen. Each project is different, but the principle is the same: worlds can live across more than one medium when the right form is chosen.

This collaboration also grows out of our participation in the AV Growth programme, which connects Nordic and Baltic companies to build new international opportunities.

We’ll be sharing more from Willow Guard soon, and we look forward to also working with other studios on projects where the story deserves to travel further. If you’re interested in exploring how your game IP could expand into new formats, you can reach out to our Creative Producer, Juha Fiilin.
