LucasArts and Planet
Moon
LucasArts has
announced a partnership with Planet Moon. With a sly wink
and a nod to its legacy of unique humor, LucasArts Entertainment Company
LLC has chosen Planet Moon Studios to create an original humorous action
title for next generation game consoles. Best known for its clever and off
beat genre-bending Giants: Citizen Kabuto, Planet Moon's game for
LucasArts will follow in the rich tradition of wry humor and intelligently
crafted play style of the company's classic titles. The game is expected
to release in 2003.
"With Planet Moon's development of a unique humorous action game for
LucasArts now madly underway, I suspect the pubs around its Sausalito,
Calif., headquarters may be in for some tough economic times," says
Simon Jeffery, president of LucasArts. "In seriousness, a
relationship with Planet Moon is an obvious choice for LucasArts. It's one
that will complement the brand of humor for which we're well known and
bring to our fans the kind of game they've always loved."
"Our past games have focused on two things: being late and over
budget," says Nick Bruty, Planet Moon's president and co-founder.
"Joking aside, this is the most exciting thing we've ever created,
with the best fit between developer and publisher we could imagine. There
is no one with a more consistent record in action titles and genuinely
funny games than LucasArts."
