News: The Incredibles Gaming Again

With the DVD out soon what could be better than another game based on The Incredibles?

The last game based upon The Incredibles was a relative success due to the Christmas period in which it was released. THQ have realised that with the DVD coming up soon people may want another game based on the film, so they have got their 'Heavy Iron Studios' working on one.

The original title sold more than 2.5 million units and it finished last year as the overall best-selling new property in the U.S., according to the NPD group.

The new title is planned for release on all consoles, Game Boy Advance, Nintendo DS, Sony PSP and PC/MAC later on this year. The Nintendo DS and Game Boy Advance versions will be developed by Helixe.

"Our ability to work with Disney and Pixar in creating this all new videogame based on the extremely popular Incredibles property demonstrates the depth of THQ's relationship with the talented teams at Disney and Pixar," said Jack Sorensen, Executive Vice President of Worldwide Studios, THQ. "This next installment in the videogame series will give millions of fans worldwide the opportunity to interact with Mr. Incredible and many other beloved Incredibles characters in a brand new adventure this fall."

"The first game based on The Incredibles truly represented the high action vision Director Brad Bird had for the film," said Pixar Animation Studios John Walker, producer of The Incredibles. "This new game will encompass all the thrills and intensity of the first while taking players and our favorite superheroes to an entirely new dimension of The Incredibles world."

"After the amazing success of The Incredibles film and videogames, we look forward to BVG, Pixar and THQ joining forces once again to bring fans another chapter in this action-packed franchise," said Graham Hopper, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Buena Vista Games, Inc. (BVG).
