PARIS and LOS ANGELES, March 14, 2012/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
Gameloft(R), a leading global publisher of digital and social games, and Fox Digital
Entertainment, a division of 20th Century Fox Filmed Entertainment, have today announced
an exclusive partnership to launch a game inspired by the beloved Ice Age motion picture
franchise. Ice Age, created and produced by Blue Sky Studios, has grown into a worldwide
blockbuster, with over $4 billion in box office, home entertainment and consumer products
sales. 20th Century Fox is preparing to release the highly anticipated fourth film in the
series, Ice Age: Continental Drift, in July 2012.
"As one of the most popular and beloved animated film franchises, we know that the
fourth Ice Age film comes with great anticipation," said Gonzague de Vallois, Senior Vice
President of Publishing at Gameloft. "As such, we're absolutely thrilled to offer the
official Ice Age game on smartphones and tablets. We have invested tremendously in this
title and it is definitely one of our most important launches this year."
Players will immerse themselves in the unique world of the Ice Age films, interacting
with beloved heroes such as Sid, Manny and Diego, while playing through a series of quests
and mini-games featuring everyone's favorite mischief-maker, Scrat. Ice Age Village will
look to join the extensive roster of successful games already released by Gameloft, which
have been enjoyed by 80 million players over the past year.
"Ice Age Village is a perfect way for fans of all ages to interact with their favorite
characters, while being introduced to the incredible world of Ice Age: Continental Drift,"
said Rick Phillips, SVP of Mobile for Fox Digital Entertainment. "Ice Age is one of Fox's
most important, most accessible franchises and with Blue Sky and Gameloft, we've created a
completely immersive experience that will deliver all the fun and laughter that fans have
come to expect from the Ice Age films."
