MUMBAI: US broadcaster Fox and Electronic Arts will release a game based on the show The Simpsons.

Created in partnership with Gracie Films, the game will have a storyline crafted by the TV show’s writers. The action-comedy will also feature the full cast of voice actors from the TV show who will reprise their roles for the game.

In the game the show's characters Homer, Marge, Bart, and Lisa use powers to save the world from rising chaos. To help the Simpsons, gamers at home must journey through all of Springfield (as well as vast worlds beyond!), vanquish an amazing array of villains, and fight their way through parodies of multiple popular games.

Scot Amos who is serving as the executive producer of the project says, "Our goal in developing The Simpsons Game is to create the most original game ever, which is a lofty goal and only possible given the close collaboration with The Simpsons creative team.

"We are also especially proud of the game’s warm visual feel, which captures - for the first time ever in a game - the look of the TV show." As Comic Book Guy says, ’Best. Simpsons Game. Ever!’"
