The quintet of mechanical space lions that form Voltron will be part of a “series” of video games that aims to revitalise the franchise alongside a new animated TV show, Voltron Force, slated to air on Nickelodeon. No details yet on developer, platforms or release date, but Variety says to expect giant robot lions later this fall.
If you simply cannot wait to play a Voltron video game, Sony Pictures Entertainment released an iPhone game back in 2009.

For Xmas 1986 I thought I was getting a giant Vehicle Force, but alas, upon opening, it was merely a giant Lion Force. I spose I loved it in the same way a Chinese father loves his female child…
