In 12 days, 5th Cell will be unveiling their new title alongside the campaign. They aren’t the first to participate in this platform, but they are one of the first alongside the others. According to CEO and creative director, Jeremiah Slaczka, the game is planned to be new an innovative and that it will have a ‘deep and engaging universe unlike any other’.
It’ll be great to see what’ll be shown on the 21st of October, I’ve always enjoyed the Scribblenaut series, I’m just hoping there really is going to be an engaging story that still has the 5th Cell style. We’ll report on the project when it is finally announced on Fig.
