Warner Bros has announced that Cartoon Network's popular Young Justice series is getting its first video game adaptation developed by Little Orbit and will launch as a "multiplayer action RPG" next year on Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, and DS.
"The TV series is a fantastic combination of compelling writing, witty humor, iconic art, and exciting action sequences. The creators have done an amazing job blending over 180 DC Comics characters into their show filtered through a new, youthful perspective," said Matt Scott, CEO of Little Orbit. "The new video game contains a slew of cool features and a large playable cast of familiar heroes, but our core mission is to create a unique experience that fits seamlessly into the world of the show and offers a new way to interact with these popular DC Comics characters."
Including the show's eclectic cast, Robin, Aqualad, Kid Flash, Superboy, Miss Martian and Artemis, Young Justice: Legacy will feature an original storyline that takes place between the first season of the show and the upcoming second season, dubbed Invasion.The script will be written "in collaboration" with Greg Weisman and Brandon Vietti, the show's writers.
This is the second time Little Orbit works with Warner Bros. Their previous effort was the Sherlock Games Mysteries games for the iPhone. An official website for Young Justice: Legacy website has also gone up and you can check it here.
