Halfbrick has announced that they are teaming up with DreamWorks Animation SKG and THQ. They'll combine the Fruit Ninja iOS app with the upcoming DreamWorks Animation film Puss in Boots to create Fruit Ninja: Puss in Boots, which will take the core gameplay of Fruit Ninja and add "Spanish and fairytale themes."
"The fun and adventure of the Puss in Boots world lends itself perfectly to the core gameplay of Fruit Ninja," said Phil Larsen, chief marketing officer at Halfbrick. "We wanted to create something new and different for our fans while keeping the magic of Fruit Ninja intact, and we think Bandito Mode will keep even the most practiced players on their toes. It's totally rad!"
"This is a unique opportunity to combine one of the most popular animated cats of all time with one of the most popular games of all time," said Chris Hewish, head of global interactive for DreamWorks Animation, "and it highlights our commitment to working with the best talent in the world. I'm extremely pleased with how Halfbrick and THQ combined the authenticity of swordplay and the fun of fruit slashing."
Fruit Ninja: Puss in Boots will be available on October 20 for $.99 for iPhone and $1.99 for iPad.
