Twelve, a European console game developer, has today announced it has agreed a licensing agreement with Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc. to develop a Tarzan video game for Xbox 360, PS3, Wii and PC.
“Developing Tarzan, one of the most enduringly popular characters of all time, for the video game market, will be Twelve’s biggest challenge to date,” said Giuseppe Crugliano, founder and managing director of Twelve. “We are extremely happy that our vision of Tarzan for this millennium met with the same enthusiasm from Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc..It will be a huge but inspiring task, a timeless character, timeless ideals, further enhanced by the sheer quality of next-gen technology. Tarzan has been a hero for generations, irrespective of age, and we can’t wait to get to work on what we’re sure will be truly captivating gameplay.”
James J. Sullos, Jr., President of Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc. added: “Over the years, Tarzan has represented human survival against all odds, rugged individualism, and a protector of the natural habitat – he is the First Conservationist. His physical prowess and complex personality lends itself to a myriad of possibilities in developing high powered next-gen console games, and we are pleased that Twelve shares our enthusiasm.”
The new Tarzan games are being developed using the Gamebryo engine, the same middleware used in the creation of Fallout 3 and Oblivion.
