Open Season: The Movie: The Videogame

Today Ubisoft announced that it is creating a game based on Columbia Pictures' upcoming full-length animated movie, Open Season. Ubisoft plans to release the title for "all available video game platforms," though the company has yet to list specific systems.

Open Season: The Movie, Sony Pictures Animation's first full-length film, is the story of a bear (voiced by Martin Lawrence) lured into a forest just before hunting season by a mule deer (Ashton Kutcher). Together they rally the woodland creatures in a revolt against the hunter-oppressor humans to stop the seasonal slaughter.

Open Season: The Videogame's single-and multiplayer modes allow players to throw skunk bombs, hurl rabbits, operate acorn-firing squirrels, and "pull outrageous woodland pranks" to fight back against those who seek to turn you into Elks Lodge d?cor. The title is currently in development at Ubisoft's Montreal studio.

Open Season: The Movie is scheduled for release September 29th, with Open Season: The Videogame due September 15th.
