EA Mobile has planned to launch its latest mobile game called Asterix: The Official Mobile Game of the Movie, in the European market. The company has joined hands with licensors La Petite Reine and Editions Albert Rene for the exclusive wireless device rights.
The Asterix: The Official Mobile Game of the Movie will be launched at the same time of the premiere Asterix at the Olympic Games, which is a live action film.
Starring Gerard Depardieu as Obélix, the adventurous game reproduces the same film’s atmosphere. The hero Obélix has to compete in Greece and win Princess Irina for young Gaul, Lovestorix.
Before qualifying for events, players have to start out on the streets of Athens. Events include long jump, running, disk, football and the chariot race finale.
“A faithful rendition of the Asterix cartoon style, a variety of fun game-play options and the innovative twist on sporting events means that this casual game appeals on many levels. We’re pleased to extend the enjoyment of the film onto mobile and enable players to lead these famous characters to their destinies,” commented EA Mobile Producer, James Dillon.
Besides, you can also access other characters such as including Panoramix (Getafix), Caesar and Brutus. These characters are from the comics, Asterix at the Olympic Games.
Expected to be available in January 2008, EA Mobile will release the Asterix: The Official Mobile Game of the Movie in over 40 countries throughout the world.
