WALL-E becomes first Arabic language game for current gen consoles PC Mag is reporting that Disney/Pixar's WALL-E has become the first current gen game to be translated for Arabic language gamers! THQ
UK Limited and Pluto Games announced today the launch of Disney-Pixars
WALL-E, the first Arabic localised video game, to be available on the
Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and the PSP. Disney-Pixars WALL-E the video
game is the official game of Disney-Pixars blockbuster animated movie
WALL-E, the story of a robot left alone on earth and his journey to
find the true meaning of what he was really meant to do.
We are delighted to be part of this, launching an Arabic game is every Arabic gamers wish. It will give us great opportunity to grow promising territories like Saudi and Egypt. It is a solid demonstration of our commitment to the Middle East market. It is Pluto Games enthusiasm and drive that made this commercially possible. We do hope it will be the first of a long line up for Arabic titles in the future, said Luke Keighran, THQ's Export Sales and Marketing Manager. WALL-E
the video game is set to release on June 27th in all gaming outlets
across the GCC. The movie is set to arrive in theatres on July 3rd. It
is available in English & Arabic on Playstation 3, PSP and Xbox
360, and also in English only on Playstation 2, Windows PC, Nintendo
DS, and Nintendo Wii. There
are only few games that would suit the Middle Easts morals more than
WALL-E. The game depicts family virtues through a fun and adventurous
story line, Keighran added.
Players
will take control of WALL-E and EVE through a fast-paced adventure
based on the upcoming DisneyPixar film. The game will allow fans to
relive some of the movies most thrilling moments as they explore 10
worlds filled with non-stop action and adventure, along with
head-to-head multiplayer challenges. Players will also recognise 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 theatres.
WALL-E
is the first ever next generation video game to be produced in Arabic.
We are seeing encouraging growth of both the Xbox360 and Playstation 3
formats and are delighted to be able to finally distribute a product
that speaks our language, We hope others will follow THQs steps
forward and help grow the gaming industry in the Middle East, said
Rabeeh Zakaria, THQ's Product Manager at Pluto Games. Posted at 10:27AM Jul 05, 2008 by Kevin P McAuliffe in Inform | Comments[0]
