Electronic Arts Brings More Family Game Night to Consoles
Family Game Night 3 is heading to consoles this fall with new multiplayer features
The EA Play Label of Electronic Arts is developing HASBRO FAMILY GAME NIGHT 3 for release this fall 2010. The new game will feature a suite of five new digital versions of popular Hasbro game brands for the Wii, Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. HASBRO FAMILY GAME NIGHT 3 will also deliver a new dimension of online play designed to bring friends and family together from living rooms around the world.
“Families have embraced the HASBRO FAMILY GAME NIGHT video game franchise because it brings them together around the TV for quality time they’ll remember for a lifetime,” said Chip Lange, General Manager and Senior Vice President of the Hasbro Division at Electronic Arts. “HASBRO FAMILY GAME NIGHT 3 has been developed with next generation online gaming at the forefront and will enable people to play the five new and iconic Hasbro game brands online with friends and family all across the world.”
The HASBRO FAMILY GAME NIGHT 3 collection of titles will appeal to the entire family with digital versions of their favorite game brands brought to life in a new theme park setting with the loveable MR. POTATO HEAD returning as the host and park guide. Featuring both classic and remixed versions, players can spin the wheel of fate in THE GAME OF LIFE, find out “whodunit” in CLUE, tie themselves in knots with TWISTER, trigger crazy chain reactions in MOUSE TRAP, and try their hand at YAHTZEE Hands Down.
HASBRO FAMILY GAME NIGHT 3 will also crank up the fun factor with local multiplayer capability for up to four players and for the first time, fans will also be able to take the gameplay online by challenging opponents around the globe via the online play features available in both the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions. Full Mii and avatar integration (Wii and Xbox 360 only) will also add a personal touch to the HASBRO FAMILY GAME NIGHT 3 experience.
“This third installment in the successful HASBRO FAMILY GAME NIGHT video game series delivers another great lineup of time-tested favorite Hasbro game brands and uses online play to take the entertainment and competition to an entirely new level,” said Mark Blecher, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Digital Media and Gaming at Hasbro. “No longer will travel distance be a hurdle for families and friends to get together and have some fun.”
