Fans of loveable monsters, numbers and letters are in for a real treat this autumn when Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment’s Sesame Street: Once Upon a Monster is released for Kinect for Xbox 360.
The game is in development at acclaimed independent studio Double Fine Productions, and promises to be an original interactive experience for young players.
In the game players join Cookie Monster, Elmo and other Sesame Street characters as they explore a living storybook titled Once Upon a Monster. In the book, they make new monster friends from and share in their adventures, solving problems, forging friendships and learning key life skills.
Parents and children will become part of the storybook adventure by getting active together through dancing, jumping, flying and more.
“It’s great to be working with Warner Bros., especially on a game like Sesame Street: Once Upon a Monster, which brings together so many things we all care about,” said Tim Schafer, president and CEO of Double Fine Productions. “Sesame Street had a profound effect on me, and many members of the Double Fine team, when we were children. So did video games. Now many of us are parents and we want to share with our kids the great experiences we had, but also the completely new ones made possible by cutting-edge technology like Kinect for Xbox 360. So it’s a labour of love on many levels.”
Sesame Street programs are seen in over 140 countries so it’s safe to say that Sesame Street: Once Upon a Monster could be a huge attraction for Kinect come the autumn and holiday season.
