Ubisoft has announced that they will be developing and publishing video games based off Columbia and Sony Pictures Animation’s upcoming CG film “Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs“. The game will be released on handheld and console platforms alongside the film’s release this September.
The game is the third title to be developed by Ubisoft and based on a Sony Pictures movie, the other two being Open Season and Surf’s Up.
“Our past projects together have shown that Ubisoft understands how to translate the artistry and storytelling of Sony Pictures Animation’s films to the world of video games,” said Mark Caplan, Vice President, Licensing-Hardlines and Interactive at Sony Pictures Consumer Products. “Our teams are already working together to create a fun and engaging interactive game that will extend the film experience.”
Sony Pictures Animation’s second animated film to be created in stereoscopic 3D, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs will be the most delicious event since macaroni met cheese. Inspired by the beloved children’s book, the film focuses on a town where food falls from the sky like rain.
The film features the voices of Bill Hader, Anna Faris, James Caan, Andy Samberg, Bruce Campbell, Mr. T, and Tracy Morgan. The film is written and directed by Chris Miller and Phil Lord, based on the bestselling children’s book written by Judi Barrett and illustrated by Ron Barrett. Pam Marsden is the producer.
“We’re pleased to continue our successful partnership with Sony Pictures Consumer Products,” said Christian Salomon, vice president of worldwide licensing at Ubisoft. “Our teams are looking forward to creating a game that will offer parents and children an entertaining experience that they can share together while reliving their favorite moments from the film.”
