It’s been over a year now since the king of pop passed away – doesn’t time fly? Despite this period of time, Ubisoft is keen to clarify some points on their upcoming game ‘Michael Jackon: The Experience’.
They are claiming that it is not a cash in, and that the game was well into development before Jackson’s death. UK marketing director for Ubisoft – Murray Pannel – had the following to say;
“The truth is that we were engaged with Jackson and the Jackson family long before his death.
By all accounts he was very pro-actively looking for a partner that he felt could bring value – and Ubisoft seemed to fit the bill very well.
So this isn’t something that’s been jumped on since his death – we’ve been working on this, despite the fact that we announced it quite recently, for a long time.
It’s well advanced in terms of the formats it’s working on – we know how big he is, how loved he is by his fans and how successful he’s been as an artist. Hopefully we can bring that to millions more gamers as well.”
The game will be available for Kinect on for Xbox 360, PS3 Move, PSP, Wii and DS towards the end of the year.
