Konami Digital Entertainment GmbH has announced it has entered into an exclusive, global licensing agreement with Giochi Preziosi and Marathon Media to develop and publish video games based on the hugely successful Gormiti action figure and entertainment franchise.
The new agreement expands the Gormiti phenomenon into the interactive entertainment software category with the first Gormiti titles to be released for Nintendo DS and Wii gaming systems. Gormiti is the story of the never ending battle on the 'Island of Gorm' between vast armies inspired by the elemental forces of nature. All new Gormiti adventures are featured in the Giochi Preziosi/Marathon Media co-production of a 52 episode, animated TV series entitled 'Gormiti: The Lords of Nature Return'.
"The Gormiti licence is one that is ideally suited to video games," commented Kunio Neo, President for Konami Digital Entertainment GmbH. "Konami's global reach and marketing expertise combined with their proven ability to translate an action packed and character rich property like Gormiti into an exciting and sustainable video game franchise makes them a perfect partner to compliment and expand upon the Gormiti phenomenon" said Giochi Preziosi's CEO Dario Berte.
Vincent Chalvon Demersay, President of Marathon Media, said, "The stories and characters that make 'Gormiti: The Lords of Nature Return' such a unique and fascinating television series also make it a great candidate for adaptation as an exciting interactive gaming adventure. Konami has an exceptional track record of developing high quality games that capture the imagination and extend the entertainment experience into the gaming arena."
