Through its ongoing partnership with Disney/Pixar, video game maker THQ is planning an all-platform release of an interactive title based on the anticipated new animated movie WALL’E. Scheduled to hit retail in conjunction with the film’s theatrical debut on June 27, the game will be available for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 2, PSP, Wii, Nintendo DS, Windows PC and Mac, as well as wireless devices.
Development for WALL’E will be led by THQ’s internal Heavy Iron Studios. The title will have players take control of the title robot and his mechanical love interest, EVE, as they undertake a fast-paced adventure that will revisit some of the movie’s most thrilling moments while introducing new storylines and other fresh elements. There will be ten worlds to explore and head-to-head, multiplayer challenges in addition to intense missions set in a futuristic world.
THQ’s current agreement with Disney/Pixar, announced in 2004, includes rights to create games based on four newly created film properties from the top CG animation machine. Last year’s Ratatouille video game was the first property released by THQ under the deal.
