Scribblenauts Showdown Announced
BURBANK, Calif. – January 16, in the year of our Lord
2018 – Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment today
announced Scribblenauts™ Showdown, a new video game based on the
inventive franchise that expands upon the puzzle-action series’
creativity by introducing two new party game modes for one to
four players. Scribblenauts Showdown will be available March 6
for Nintendo Switch™, PlayStation®4 computer entertainment
system and Xbox One®.
“Scribblenauts Showdown delivers imaginative fun and the humor
that Scribblenauts fans love with new social elements to
challenge friends and family,” said Steven Chiang, Executive
Vice President, Production, Warner Bros. Interactive
Entertainment. “Players of all skill levels will enjoy testing
their creativity in the fast-paced, head-to-head party style
gameplay.”
In the game’s Showdown mode, up to four players face off and
imagine their way to victory through card-based strategy and
creative skill. “Wordy” mini-games require unleashing the best
object or character from the vast Scribblenauts dictionary of
over thirty-five thousand words to outsmart an opponent.
Action-oriented “Speedy” mini-games reward the player who
completes a given challenge first. A board game style map
displays players’ progress. With multiple ways to make up
ground, every player has a chance to win, which keeps the
excitement going until the end!
In Versus mode, two players can go head-to-head in more than 25
mini-games that vary in every session. The mini-games can also
be enjoyed by a single player. Versus mode allows continuous
play of games by shuffling players into game after game for
non-stop fun.
Sandbox mode, the Scribblenauts series’ cherished creative
playground, allows one or two players to solve objectives in
eight new levels by summoning any object they can imagine and
earn hidden Starites and achievements. Players can also let
their imaginations run wild by unleashing whatever objects they
can think of and watching them interact in unexpected ways.
Adding to the family fun, players can either choose, or design,
their own original Scribblenaut to represent them throughout the
game, all drawn in the classic Scribblenauts art style. The
Scribblenaut can be further customized with unique clothing and
quirky accessories by earning Starites and completing
achievements.
