ANKAMA signs deal with Microsoft for its 1st next gen console game

Roubaix, France – 18th December 2008 – ANKAMA group, creator of internationally renowned MMORPG, DOFUS, is teaming up with Microsoft to develop its 1st console-based video game.

ANKAMA group has announced its partnership with Microsoft for the development of Islands of Wakfu, its 1st offering for the latest generation of game consoles. Islands of Wakfu, which is the most recent addition to ANKAMA’s crossmedia universe, retains DOFUS and Wakfu’s graphic touch, but adds the feel of an animated cartoon. This adventure/beat'em all style game can be played by two players in team mode and will reveal never seen before background content from the world of DOFUS and Wakfu.

Ankama Play, ANKAMA group’s newly created, independent next gen video game development studio, have recently finalised a deal with the software giant Microsoft.

Islands of Wakfu is planned for release in late 2009 on the Xbox Live Arcade.

I was informed that some people would understand this, and be excited.

DOFUS was a bit meh... don't quite know what is thrilling about this but hey... new games are always good. :P

Dofus has 1.5 million paying players and 8 million free ones. Yes people are excited.

And there was much rejoicing!

somewhere...since apparently many people play whatever-this-is.

So is Islands of Wakfu still an MMO, like DOFUS?

Nah, according to the PR its just a 2 player Co-op title.

For a minute I thought this was the "first next gen title" for XBLA.

Which would be cool.
