Report: New Michael Jackson Game in the Works

Since the pop star's unfortunate passing, the news publications have been providing non-stop coverage, and gaming websites have seemingly all put together requisite Michael Jackson gaming stories, looking back fondly at the Sega Genesis Moonwalker title and others.

While Jackson is sadly no longer with us, we may soon be able to relive some of his music in a new video game. Reports (as spotted by MCV) have indicated that Michael Jackson's own production company, MJJ Productions, has been working on a title for "several months," and the game even features speech he recorded for it before he died.

The game is apparently scheduled for release on home consoles for this Christmas. An MJJ Productions spokesperson commented, “I am sure it will still be released. Michael loved games.”

It's not clear exactly what kind of game this will be or what the basic gameplay will offer, but it's reportedly going to feature some of Jackson's most memorable hits. We can only guess that the game will be of the music variety, perhaps something along the lines of a SingStar or Dance Dance Revolution, since Jackson revolutionized pop singing and dancing.
