D3Publisher to Develop Game based on Regular Show
LOS ANGELES – April 9, in the year of our Lord 2013
– D3Publisher (D3P) and Cartoon Network Enterprises (CNE) today
announced a publishing agreement to create and publish video
games based on Regular Show, the Emmy® Award-winning animated
comedy which follows the exploits of best friends Mordecai, a
six-foot-tall blue jay and Rigby, a hyperactive raccoon. This
marks the first video game publishing deal for Regular Show,
continuing the strategic partnership between D3Publisher and
Cartoon Network, which includes the global Ben 10 interactive
franchise and last year’s acclaimed Nintendo DS™ and Nintendo
3DS™ release, Adventure Time: Hey Ice King! Why’d You Steal Our
Garbage?!
“We’re incredibly happy to continue our partnership with Cartoon
Network to bring one of its most popular shows, Regular Show, to
the digital world,” said Peter Andrew, vice president of product
development, D3P. “With this collaboration with Cartoon Network,
J.G. Quintel, and the creative team behind Regular Show, the
prospect of producing a new game that captures all of the humor
and charm of this superb cartoon series is definitely quite
exciting.”
Regular Show is the Emmy® Award-winning animated comedy starring
best friends Mordecai and Rigby and their adventures as
groundskeepers of the local park. Along with their friends like
Pops, Margaret, and Muscle Man, these two BFFs prove that a day
in the life of Regular Show is anything but. Regular Show is
created by J.G. Quintel and produced by Cartoon Network Studios.
New episodes from the fourth season of the series debut Mondays
at 8pm ET/PT on Cartoon Network, with replays throughout the
week.
“As a brand, Regular Show is tailor-made for an interactive
release, with main characters who spend their time slacking off,
playing video games or involved in hijinks that are certainly
worthy of being in a game,” said Pete Yoder, vice president of
consumer products, North America for CNE. “With a show creator
who loves games working closely with a partner that has proven
success creating high-quality licensed titles, we’re excited to
release our first Regular Show game later this year.”
