Telltale Games dropped the news on Thursday that their new episodic series was going to be Wallace & Gromit, Aardman Animations’ iconic oddball inventor and his long-suffering dog. True to their word, Telltale has now launched a full website for the series, including screenshots, a FAQ, and a high-res trailer.
The game description covers all of the usual Telltale bases: Collaborating with the characters’ home studio, humor-driven plot and gameplay, and strong emulation of the series’ visuals. Telltale tells it thus:
Each game will have an original storyline developed by Telltale’s writers in collaboration with Aardman, and as in the original animated films, much of the comedy will be physical and will evolve out of the strange scenarios the characters end up in. You’ll get to play as both Wallace and Gromit in activities that include tinkering with crazy contraptions, embarking upon Wallace’s wild entrepreneurial schemes, and finding your way out of the sticky situations that inevitably ensue.
We intend to keep both eyes on this one. Go check out the trailer now for a look at how Wallace & Gromit’s “clay” look translates into CG.
