Discovery's "Deadliest Catch" Gets Game

The game will allow players to participate and compete as crab fishermen as captains of their own crab boats and navigate the Bering Sea. The launch will follow the roll out of the Deadliest Catch console game this fall.

"Integrating the series into a branded social game is a great way to give 'Deadliest Catch' fans an ongoing interactive experience," says Elizabeth Bakacs, vice president of licensing for Discovery Channel. "We look forward to working with Hive Media to bring the real-world adventures of 'Deadliest Catch' to social gaming."

The licensing deal was brokered by the Joester Loria Group on behalf of Discovery Communications.
