14 DAY TRIAL // Paramount Digital Entertainment and Funtactix, a video game developer, have announced that they are working together on Rango: The World, an online multiplayer video game based around the world and the characters of the upcoming animated Rango movie, which will be launching on March 4.
The game will arrive at the same time as the movie and will allow all interested gamers to create their own character, with the same outlandish look as all others in this universe, and then band with their friends in order to explore the entire world of the movie.
The experience will offer dynamic quests, mini games and a lot of customization options for all characters.
Paramount seems pretty sure that the Rango movie, which stars Johnny Depp, will be quite the success and is planning to launch another video game based on it, called Rango The Videogame.
This second game will allow fans to go on new adventures that have been inspired by the events seen in the movie.
The game will be launched on March 1 for the PlayStation 3, the Xbox 360, the Nintendo Wii and the DS.
Sam Glassenberg, who is the chief executive officer of Funtactix, has said, “Rango: The World is the first announced game that uses our revolutionary ’The WORLD’ solution, which lets us bring animation film assets into a web-based game without compromising fidelity or authenticity. Rango is a visually groundbreaking feature; combining the film’s assets with our technology provided the perfect springboard for us to permanently raise the bar for browser-based games and bring the world of Rango to the massive audience of fans on the web.”
Tom Lesinski, the president of Paramount Digital Entertainment, stated, “Rango’s characters and their outrageous antics are well-suited for a variety of gaming platforms and players of all ages. Rango: The World gives younger fans of the film a fun way to interact and personalize the characters and storyline in an immersive online environment.”
