Scribblenauts gets picked up by Warner, coming this fall

Warner Bros have announced they’ve acquired the Scribblenauts IP from developer 5TH Cell. They will go on to publish and distribute the game on DS this fall. 5TH Cell’s previous DS efforts were Drawn to Life and Lock’s Quest, which were rather awesome if memory serves us.

Scribblenauts is a game where you use the stylus to write words on the DS touch-screen to make objects appear. You then use these objects to solve puzzles. The game also lets you combine objects together with some quirky results.

“Scribblenauts is a fresh and inventive game offering players of all ages a chance to experiment and use their imagination in a really fun handheld gaming experience,” said Samantha Ryan, Senior Vice President, Production and Development, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. “5TH Cell has a tradition of developing high-quality, innovative games such as Drawn to Life and Lock’s Quest, and we’re very pleased to work with them on Scribblenauts.”

“We’re excited to be working with Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment to bring Scribblenauts to a wide range of gamers, so they can play something they’ve never experienced anywhere else,” said Jeremiah Slaczka, Creative Director and Co-Owner of 5TH Cell. “Scribblenauts is our biggest DS title to date and the culmination of our design knowledge and past experience creating original games.”
