THQ Wireless just announced that it has signed a worldwide agreement with
Playboy Enterprises to exclusively develop Playboy-branded mobile games. The multi-year Playboy
agreement covers the development and publishing rights to multiple Playboy-branded, lifestyle themed, non-nude mobile games featuring bikini-clad
Playmates to be released worldwide.
"Given the extensive appeal and popularity of the Playboy brand, mobile games based on this license are sure to provide a fun and entertaining experience," said Adam Comiskey, vice president, international, THQ Wireless. "
THQ Wireless is ideally positioned to provide engaging games with the hallmark of the Playboy lifestyle."
"The number of
Playboy fans around the world has never been greater and that popularity is reflected in the growing sales of Playboy-branded products and services," said Ed Lang, senior vice president of mobile, Playboy Media Group. "Given the growth of the mobile industry, we're excited to join THQ Wireless in offering this next-generation form of entertainment to consumers."
Playboy Games: Pool Party will include a set of mini-games depicting animated, bikini-clad Playmates at the famous Playboy Mansion engaged in "pool party sports" including poolside water balloon fights, waterslide slaloms and aquatic mechanical bull riding. Developed by THQ Wireless internal studio Universomo, Playboy Games: Pool Party is based on actual events held at the Playboy Mansion and immortalized in the Playboy Home Entertainment DVD release,
Playmate Playoffs, hosted by Chuck Woolery.
The first title, Playboy Games: Pool Party, is scheduled to launch in summer 2008.
