Activision Begins Work on iCarly Game

Nickelodeon has tapped Activision to produce the first video game based on the "iCarly" series. The game for Wii and Nintendo DS will release this fall.

The video game will feature an original storyline with mini-games and options to customize webisodes with props, characters, color schemes, audio, intros, outros and more.

"'iCarly' is a groundbreaking show that encourages viewers to contribute content of their own," says David Oxford of Activision Publishing. "This game is a natural extension of that creativity, and allows players to interact with the characters they know and love through a variety of different ways, any time they like."

"In order to make a property as huge and irreverent as 'iCarly' into a videogame, we tapped into the interactive model of the show itself," says Steve Youngwood of Nickelodeon/MTVN Kids and Family Group. "'iCarly's' entire premise is to allow kids and tweens to actively participate in their entertainment experience, and Activision is doing a phenomenal job in recreating that for Wii and Nintendo DS systems."
