New Michael Jackson Game in development
After the King of Pop's passing last week, Joystiq has had an inordinately high volume of Michael Jackson-related stories. Day after day, the video game industry honored his passing -- free "Thriller" downloads on Xbox Live, Battlefield Heroes costumes, and a full on recreation of "Smooth Criminal" using Rag Doll Kung Fu's engine. Today, less than a full week after the singer's death, his production company (MJJ Productions) confirmed to MCVUK
that a game starring Jackson and featuring his music has been in
production at MJJ for "several months" and is purportedly on schedule
to release "this holiday season."
Though no definitive "yes"
or "no" has been given on the game's release (or any info on the
developer, publisher, or the game itself), reports say the game
contains recent voice recordings by the singer. The closest we get to
actual information on the game's release window is, "I am sure it will
still be released ... Michael loved games," by way of an MJJ
Productions rep. Here's hoping it's more Moonwalker and less Space Channel 5 -- but then, that's just how we get down.
