Buena Vista Games has announced that a lifestyle simulation based on the hit TV show will arrive for PC this autumn. Players will take on the role of a new housewife who moves in the Wisteria Lane – the not as perfect as it seems neighbourhood from the show.
“Buena Vista Games is proud to partner with ABC Entertainment and Touchstone Television to bring the popular ‘Desperate Housewives’ franchise to fans and gamers,” said Graham Hopper, senior vice president and general manager, Buena Vista Games. “This game allows players to move to Wisteria Lane and live all the gossip, drama and intrigue of a true desperate housewife.”
“‘Desperate Housewives’ continues to be one of the most popular shows on primetime television and a pop culture phenomenon,” said Bruce Gersh, senior vice president of business development, ABC Entertainment and Touchstone Television. “We are continually looking to build upon this successful franchise and believe that extending this program into the world of PC gaming will result in a fun new way for fans to connect more deeply with the series and its captivating collection of characters.”
Brenda Strong who narrates the TV show as the deceased Mary Alice Young (not as strange as it sounds) will also narrate the videogame, but the main stars of the show don’t appear to have signed on to give their voices to the game. Desperate Housewives is in development at Liquid Entertainment, the team responsible for the RTS Dragonshard, and is set for an autumn 2006 release.
