Maximum Games to develop title for PS4, Xbox One and Windows PC based on brand.
Coolabi is extending the Beast Quest IP into the video games world, teaming with Maximum Games for a new console game based on the brand.
The action adventure title with RPG elements will launch on October 31 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Windows PC and will be developed by Torus Games.
It will be the first console game for the Beast Quest franchise, which has released over 120 books to date and sold more than 17 million copies globally.
The deal follows the success of the Beast Quest gaming app, co-produced by Coolabi and Miniclip, which was launched in 2015 and has more than nine million downloads to date.
Valerie Fry, director of licensing for Coolabi Group, commented: “The team at Maximum Games have taken great care to understand Beast Quest and why it inspires such passion from its followers.
“This game represents a completely new way for fans to engage with this one-of-a-kind universe, and we’re thrilled to see it come to life.”
Christina Seelye, ceo of Maximum Games, added: “The high-fantasy setting, characters and lore of Beast Quest are the perfect foundation for a modern adventure game on consoles.
“We’re building a gorgeous world true to this imaginative series that millions have come to love, while giving fans of adventure games everywhere a unique experience to enjoy.”
