Take-Two publishing label 2K Games and Twentieth Century Fox have announced an exclusive agreement to develop and publish what they describe as "some freakin' sweet" current-gen console video games based on the animated television series Family Guy. According to the firm, and working closely with Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane, 2K Games and developer High Voltage Software will bring the hilarious world of Peter, Brian, the tyrannical tyke Stewie and all of Quahog, Rhode Island to current generation consoles this fall. "The irreverent and satirical humor from Family Guy that has made the show a smash hit opens up exciting and untapped possibilities in game development," said Christoph Hartmann, Managing Director of 2K Games. "We are looking forward to bringing the colorful Family Guy characters to life in a one-of-a-kind action/adventure style game." Elie Dekel, Executive Vice President, Fox Licensing and Merchandising added, "2K Games really understands the distinct humor and unique voice of Family Guy. We're confident that they will develop a hilarious and entertaining game for fans of the show as well as for gamers."
