Infogrames Teams Up with Warner Bros. Consumer Products To Unleash The World’s Sexiest Spy
La Femme Nikita breaks into the interactive entertainment world in Fall 2001.
Worldwide interactive entertainment publisher Infogrames announced today that it will release La Femme Nikita, the world’s most famous female secret agent, on next generation video game console systems and PC CD-ROM in Fall 2001. In an agreement with Warner Bros. Consumer Products, Infogrames Entertainment, majority owner of Infogrames, Inc., garnered the rights to develop the popular license for these game platforms.
The La Femme Nikita game will remain true to the popular television series. In the scenario familiar to fans worldwide, Nikita is falsely accused of a hideous crime and sentenced to life in prison. Taken from prison to a place called “Section One” – the most covert anti-terrorist group on the planet – Nikita is trained as a spy and assassin by Michael, a technical expert, who serves as her mentor and teacher.
“This agreement is another wonderful step in maintaining what has been a winning partnership between Warner Bros. Consumer Products and Infogrames,” said Michael Harkavy, Vice President, Publishing, Kids’ WB! Music and Interactive Entertainment for Warner Bros. Consumer Products. “From Looney Tunes to Wacky Races, Infogrames continues to successfully create engaging video games based on our exciting entertainment properties.”La Femme Nikita combines fast-paced action, unique cooperative gameplay and a thrilling plot-driven story. Choosing to play as either Michael or Nikita, players must track a sinister terrorist group across the globe in six non-linear missions. In order to succeed, the player will not only have to show their infiltration skills, but also exploit their character’s abilities to react efficiently and intelligently in a variety of situations. In a world where teamwork and self-control are lethal weapons, dazzling graphics and dynamic gameplay combine with fantastic characters to create a truly suspenseful gaming adventure.
Infogrames, Inc. will support the release of La Femme Nikita with a fully integrated marketing and advertising campaign designed to generate consumer awareness through print and broadcast advertising, national consumer promotions and comprehensive web support. Developed by Infogrames’ Lyon House, La Femme Nikita will be available at major retail outlets in Fall 2001.
