THQ to Launch WALL/E Across All Major Gaming Systems

THQ has announced plans to release the WALL/E video game in conjunction with the film's theatrical debut from Disney/Pixar in the summer of 2008. WALL/E is anticipated to launch across all major gaming systems including the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation 3 computer entertainment system, PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system, PSP system, Wii home video game system, Nintendo DS, Windows PC and Mac, as well as wireless devices.

The long-running relationship between THQ and Disney/Pixar has achieved shipments of more than 35 million units worldwide. THQ's current agreement with Disney/Pixar, which was announced in 2004, includes rights to create games based on four newly created Disney/Pixar film properties. Last year's Ratatouille video game was the first property released by THQ under this agreement.

WALL/E is expected to release this summer and will mark THQ's next installment in the company's association with Disney/Pixar. Development for WALL/E will be led by THQ's internal Heavy Iron Studios.

In the game, players will take control of WALL/E and EVE through a fast-paced adventure based on the upcoming Disney/Pixar film. The game will allow fans to relive some of the movie's most thrilling moments as they explore 10 worlds filled with non-stop action and adventure, along with head-to-head multiplayer challenges. Players will recognize the storyline, characters and key locations from the WALL/E film as they carry out intense missions, dodge dangerous enemies and navigate their way through a futuristic world. In addition, the game will contain new storylines and environments that movie-goers will not see in theaters.
