The Simpsons XXII Details Revealed

05 Jul 2007

There were many details revealed in the last few days about the upcoming Simpsons game currently titled The Simpsons XXII, named as such for the fact that this game will be the 22nd Simpsons video game ever released. Among the various announcements we learned the following: - Matt Groening, creator of The Simpsons, makes a cameo appearance as a boss near the end of the game. Groening is of course no stranger to appearing alongside the characters he created, as he also had a cameo in the episode entitled "My Big Fat Geek Wedding." - There will be a level where Homer must battle a giant boss of some sort. Rumor has it that the boss might be Lard Lad, a giant advertising mascot run amok that first appeared in the "Treehouse of Horror VI" Halloween special. With E3 quickly approaching we are sure to get a deluge of facts and confirmations or denials about some of the information floating around, so stay tuned for the latest!

EA recently revealed, via Mobile Entertainment magazine, that they are working on a mobile/handset version of The Simpsons called The Simpsons: Minutes to Meltdown.

Another for the Rumor Pile

16 Apr 2007

The May 2007 issue of EGM had a small blurb about the next Simpsons game. In the blurb they discuss some things we already knew (such as the game being based on the upcoming movie), but the writer also talks about some of the gameplay of the game. According to his source at EA, the game will employ various genres such as racing, first-person shooting, and role playing. The full scanned article can be found at the Scanned Articles page. This sounds similar to the formula used for Family Guy where each of the three playable characters' levels used different gameplay styles to mix it up, but as always everything is speculation. EA has yet to make any big announcements for their Summer and Fall game line-up, so stay tuned for solid news once it comes in.
