Telltale reveals Wallace & Gromit episodic series

Telltale Games has revealed Wallace & Gromit’s Grand Adventures, an episodic series video game.

Telltale spilled a few of the beans to the Associated Press. The game will be based on Aardman Animations’ popular Wallace & Gromit stop motion clay animated film series. The series stars Wallace, a cheese-loving inventor voiced by Peter Sallis, and his trusty dog Gromit.

“We’re certainly going for the clay look with this,” Telltale Games CEO Dan Connors told The Associated Press. “Clay presents a challenge if you really get into the detail of it. For example, adding fingerprints in a medium where there aren’t any is one of the discussions of how far we should go with the game’s detail.”

Players will be able to step into the shoes of both Wallace and Gromit in Grand Adventures, pursuing “zany entrepreneurial schemes and tinkering with kooky contraptions.” According to Connors the game will follow the distribution model of Telltale’s Sam & Max video game series and will feature more physical and situation-based comedy.

This will not be Wallace & Gromit’s first appearance in a video game, however, Connors believes that it will be more true to the franchise than Frontier Development’s platforming action games.

“The other games captured the personality, but all you ended up doing was running through the world,” said Connors. “It was a standard platform game. We feel like the gameplay should be more of an experience. You should be able to interact with the other characters and really feel like you’re in the world of Wallace & Gromit.”

Currently no platforms or launch date details have been announced. More details about the game were promised to be revealed on Wallace & Gromit’s Grand Adventures website on Monday so stay tuned.
