Grease Video Game Announced
Filed Under News
505 Games today announced it has secured the rights to create a new game based on the original high school musical, Grease.
In collaboration with Paramount Digital Entertainment, 505 Games will oversee and publish a Grease video game for the Nintendo Wii and Nintendo DS.
The Grease video game will allow players to fulfil those long forgotten dreams of singing and dancing alongside Danny, Sandy, The Pink Ladies and the T-Birds. On Nintendo’s home console, the game will utilise the Wii’s motion-sensing controls and a microphone, most likely in the style of EA’s Boogie, while the DS version is expected be a much more touch screen-centric affair.
“We are really excited about working with Paramount Digital Entertainment to turn this world famous film into a video game for the very first time,” said Ian Howe, Managing Director of 505 Games. “Working with such a well known and much loved brand is a great opportunity and we believe the collaboration further strengthens 505 Games’ entertainment portfolio.”
Grease will be released on Nintendo Wii and Nintendo DS and co-published by 505 Games and Paramount Digital Entertainment.
