Telltale to Expand to Xbox Live Arcade with Wallace & Gromit

Telltale, Inc.'s episodic series, WALLACE & GROMIT'S GRAND ADVENTURES, will lead the company's expansion to Xbox LIVE Arcade this spring. WALLACE & GROMIT'S GRAND ADVENTURES will also be available for PC.

WALLACE & GROMIT'S GRAND ADVENTURES will deliver all of the humor and charm of the duo's popular animated films, with a monthly series of brand new interactive stories in Telltale's unique episodic format. Alternating between the roles of quirky inventor Wallace and his faithful canine companion Gromit, players embark on their own style of entrepreneurial business ventures, tinker with creative contraptions, and interact with an ever-expanding cast of fun and endearing characters in each episode.

The series' launch follows the record-setting Christmas Day premiere of Aardman's new WALLACE & GROMIT short film, A MATTER OF LOAF AND DEATH, the most watched TV program in the United Kingdom on Christmas Day with 14.3 million viewers. The film also recently won an Annie Award for Best Animated Short and secured a BAFTA Award nomination in the same category.

Showcasing visuals modeled closely after franchise originator Aardman Animations' clay creations, WALLACE & GROMIT'S GRAND ADVENTURES is Telltale's most cinematic series to date, immersing fans in the stories and interactions with the colorful personalities of West Wallaby Street. The game also features a new direct control scheme for gamepads, designed specifically for Xbox.

Telltale has become the industry leader in regularly delivered episodic games, with the release of two award-winning SAM & MAX series and most recently, STRONG BAD'S COOL GAME FOR ATTRACTIVE PEOPLE. The Strong Bad series became the first monthly episodic set for a connected console, with the finale episode releasing in December on WiiWare and PC. Telltale plans to announce additional titles for Xbox Live Arcade in the coming months. For more details about Telltale's games and WALLACE & GROMIT'S GRAND ADVENTURES, visit www.telltalegames.com.
