Warner Bros Interactive Entertainment Announces Scribblenauts Unlimited
Wildly Inventive Franchise Reimagined for Wii U, Nintendo 3DS and PC Unlimited Creativity and Unbound Exploration Create a New Experience on New Platforms for Fans of All Ages
BURBANK, Calif. – June 5, in the year of our Lord 2012
– Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment announces Scribblenauts
Unlimited, a new game expanding upon the best-selling, award-winning
video game franchise that challenged players to imagine anything and
bring it to life in the game. Created and developed by 5TH Cell, the
game will include all-new features, more exploration and a
completely original gaming experience for the Wii U™ system,
Nintendo 3DS™ hand-held system and PC this Christmas season.
Scribblenauts Unlimited features a huge side-scrolling open world
with new, high-definition hand-drawn
scenery and objects where players can help the game’s hero, Maxwell,
solve robust puzzles and challenges
by summoning any object they can imagine. And for the first time,
players learn the backstory of
Maxwell’s parents, his twin sister Lily, and how he acquired his
magical notepad.
“Bringing Scribblenauts Unlimited to new consoles lets players
become Maxwell and experience the game
play in entirely different, inventive ways,” said Samantha Ryan,
Senior Vice President, Production and
Development, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. “On Wii U, for
example, the game is further
enhanced by the touch screen on the new controller giving players an
innovative way to interact with the
action and a simple way to type in the word of his or her desire.”
“With new gameplay modes and features, Scribblenauts Unlimited sets
no limits on how players can use
their imagination,” said Jeremiah Slaczka, C.E.O. and Creative
Director of 5TH Cell. “The game breaks
the franchise’s previously set boundaries and allows for unlimited
creativity.”
Both Wii U and PC versions include a new “Object Editor” that
elevates the game’s creativity by giving
players the same tools as the developer to make, name, and then
share their creations online. Players
can create their own objects from scratch or customize any object
in-game by setting properties for how
it behaves, and can change its appearance by resizing, disassembling
and altering its texture and color.
The user-generated objects then seamlessly propagate into other
players’ world on the fly. Previously
summoned objects and players’ own creations can be stored in
Maxwell’s “magic backpack” for easy access
and future use.
Scribblenauts Unlimited can also be cooperatively played together
with friends and family in local
multiplayer on Wii U.
