It’s just been officially announced that a (new) game based on The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy is in the works at Hothead Games (DeathSpank, Swarm). We’ve included the press release revealing the news below, in full, because it’s, well, awesome.
Just don’t, you know… panic:
EARTH - 25th May 2011 (Towel Day)- This press release communication has been approved by the Galactic Communication and Safety Board for distribution via your primitive electronic distribution networking systems.
COMMENCING TRANSMISSION…
Hail people of Earth! Megadodo Publications is pleased to announce that we are working with the interactive entertainment development team Hothead Games to bring The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, the standard repository for all knowledge and wisdom, to the farthest uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the Western Spiral arm of the Galaxy. This new edition of The Guide will be available not only on your planet but also on all nearby systems including Alpha Centauri.
“We’re super excited to be involved with such a legendary creation as The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. The quirky and hilarious universe that Douglas Adams created became an instant classic for so many. All the hoopiest froods here at Hothead jumped on the chance to work on the project”, commented excitable Hothead human, Joel DeYoung.
Zarniwoop Vann HarlaHarlH, president of Megadodo, was unavailable for comment as he is far too cool to add quotes to press releases.
You can head on over to the game’s official website for a bit of nonsensical excellence.
