2K Games Brings Hit TV Series to Video Game Consoles

2K Games, a publishing label of Take-Two Interactive Software, and Twentieth Century Fox have announced an exclusive agreement to develop and publish "some freakin' sweet" video games based on the hit television series Family Guy. Working closely with Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane, 2K Games will bring the hilarious world of Peter, Brian, the tyrannical tyke Stewie and all of Quahog, Rhode Island to current generation consoles this autumn.

Developed by High Voltage Software, Family Guy will feature the offbeat humour of the show's writers in an action/adventure game focusing on the lovable oaf Peter Griffin, his world domination-obsessed son Stewie and their talking, martini-drinking dog, Brian. Throughout the game, these popular characters wreak havoc in many of the same locations depicted in the animated series.

"The irreverent and satirical Family Guy humour that has made the show a smash hit opens up exciting and untapped possibilities in game development," said Christoph Hartmann, Managing Director of 2K Games. "We are looking forward to bringing the colourful Family Guy characters to life in a one-of-a-kind action/adventure style game."

Elie Dekel, Executive Vice President, Fox Licensing and Merchandising added, "2K Games really understands the distinct humour and unique voice of Family Guy. We're confident that they will develop a hilarious and entertaining game for fans of the show as well as for gamers."

Family Guy performs solidly in all key demographics and regularly attracts almost nine million viewers each week. Family Guy is the only television show in history to be resurrected from cancellation based on blockbuster DVD sales and the strength of its ratings in repeat cable broadcasts.

While there been no conformation of exactly what platforms Family Guy will release on it almost certain that wel get either a GBA or DS version and possibly both. Just keep reading DS-x2 and wel let you know as soon as we do.

  I'm not looking forward to this... Family Guy is damn cool, but decent cartoon licensed games are few and far between... I think it is gonna be a bomb.

  I think this is going to be an absolute disaster. I love the show, but oh my god. A GAME? Terrible, terrible idea.

  "Developed by High Voltage Software" I stopped reading there--there's a snowball's chance in hell that the game will be good.

  I stopped reading when I saw "Family Guy" because the news was on a gaming site. Not many tv-games have been that good.
