MTV Games has announced that it has signed an exclusive deal with Jerry Bruckheimer to develop and create new and original video games. They will build a game incubation studio, where a team of experts, artists and storytellers will come together to create new concepts and IP.
Bruckheimer is responsible for quite a large number of Hollywood blockbusters, including the Bad Boys series and the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy. This is his first entry into video games.
“Video games represent a new and innovative medium for what we’ve always tried to do, which is to tell great stories. But this medium is unique in that it gives the player control over how those stories unfold,” said Jerry Bruckheimer. “I look forward to working with MTV Games to create new original game stories, always looking for ways to innovate the medium.”
Executives from both companies are going to work together on all phases of development as well as on the production, distribution and marketing. They are going to try and bridge the world of video games with other forms of entertainment media including film and TV.
