Telltalte
Celebrates Wallace & Gromit’s 20th Anniversary with an Episodic Gaming
Extravaganza
On November 4th All Wallace &
Gromit Episodic Games Available On Xbox LIVE Arcade, Telltale Takes Orders for
Full Season DVD, Charity Drive Kicks Off
Cracking good news, lad! All Wallace
& Gromit’s Grand Adventures episodes will be available on Xbox LIVE Arcade
Wednesday, November 4th. The release coincides day and date with the 20th
anniversary of the release of A Grand Day Out, Wallace & Gromit’s first animated
short.
The episodes – Fright of the
Bumblebees, The Last Resort, Muzzled! and The Bogey Man – take the unorthodox
inventor and his canine companion through exciting interactive storylines – from
a honey business plagued by giant bees, to a whodunit set at a beach resort in
Wallace’s cellar, to a tale of triumph over an oily villain’s greedy deceit, and
concluding with a hardly sub-par finale at the prestigious Prickly Thicket
country club.
Telltale will begin taking orders
November 4th at
www.telltalegames.com for the Wallace & Gromit’s Grand Adventures full
season DVD. In addition to all four fun-filled episodes, the DVD will include
exclusive image galleries, a “making of” video, and Aardman Animations’
hilarious Cracking Contraption shorts, which profile some of Wallace’s more
eccentric inventions.
In honor of the claymation duo’s
impressive milestone, Telltale is partnering with the Wallace & Gromit
Children’s Foundation in the UK and Penny Arcade’s Child’s Play charity in North
America to make a donation in selected regions for every purchase of the full PC
season of Wallace & Gromit’s Grand Adventures November 4-8.
Xbox 360-exclusive series features
include achievements, HD graphic support, and a custom control scheme adapted
specifically for the Xbox 360. Foreign language subtitles will also be available
for these episodes in German, French, Italian, and Spanish. Each episode sells
for 800 Microsoft Points on Xbox LIVE Marketplace.
Stay tuned for even more exciting
Wallace & Gromit anniversary announcements from Telltale on November 3rd.
