French publisher grabs rights to develop games based on Luc Besson’s CG movie sequels
Ubisoft and EuropaCorp have entered in an agreement for the development of games based on the sequels to the Arthur and the Minimoys movie (Arthur and the Invisibles in the UK).
The French-produced live action CG movie is to see two sequels, Arthur and the Revenge of Maltazard in 2009 and Arthur and the Two Worlds War in 2010, and Ubisoft are planning titles based on both.
“Ubisoft is thrilled to be working on a rich and exciting universe that was born in the mind of such a talented creator as Luc Besson,” said Yves Guillemot, Chief Executive Officer at Ubisoft.
”Through this creative association, Ubisoft shows its dedication to bringing intense emotions inspired by the movie industry to interactive games. In the Arthur and the Revenge of Maltazard & Arthur and the Two Worlds War games, players will be able to experience all the power, drama and emotion of the films thanks to the interactive possibilities provided by the games.”
