It’s the mobile game puzzler, Gromit! Just in time for the opening of their big DreamWorks feature, Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit, the popular Aardman characters will also be making a splash in the mobile game world courtesy of the folks at Player X.
Created for Player X by Frontier Developments, the game is a top-down 2D puzzler which will be available during the first week of October, coinciding with the Oct. 7 opening of the new feature. Although Wallace & Gromit have sold more than 30 million units of licensed merchandise all over the world, this will be the plasticine duo’s first venture into the wireless arena.
Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit will be available across Vodafone, Orange, T-Mobile, O2 and 3 and all major Scandinavian operators in Europe, Cingular in the U.S., major Latin American markets and Asian territories including Hong Kong, Singapore, the Philippines and Japan.
"We love working with major brands and they don’t come bigger than Wallace & Gromit," says Tony Pearce, CEO of Player X. "It’s been a privilege to bring this content to a global audience and we’re convinced we have put this game in places other companies cannot reach."
Directed by Nick Park and Steve Box, Wallace & Gromit: Curse of the Were-Rabbit finds the clever dog and his mild-mannered master involved in a giant vegetable growing contest and a mysterious rabbit with a supernatural affliction. Aardman regular Peter Sallis (the voice of Wallace) is joined by British thesps Ralph Fiennes and Helena Bonham Carter, who portray a pair of aristocrats in the movie. Pick up the October issue of Animation Magazine for a behind-the-scenes look at the making of this clay-animated epic.
