[Update] Sour Patch Kids: World Gone Sour

Posted by: 11/30/2011
What seems to be the tastiest game ever made, Sour Patch Kids: World Gone Sour has been announced for the PC, Xbox, and PS3. From the screens, I’m guessing it will be a swarm/pikmin hybrid. Of course, what do I know. We will learn more this spring.

[Update]
So, from the official press release the leading worldwide developer and publisher of video games is teaming up with the #1 sour candy brand in the US. Capcom is publishing the Sour Patch Kids game. Check out this official press release.

“Sour Patch has brought its brand to life in a unique experience that only video games can deliver,” said Christian Svensson, Senior Vice President, Planning & Strategy, Capcom Entertainment, Inc. “Whether you’re a fan of Sour Patch Kids or fun and engaging gameplay,World Gone Sour has something for all gamers to enjoy.” 

Gamers will take on the miniature role of a lost Sour Patch Kid in a stylized human-sized world, guiding the hero through the sticky floors of a movie theater, across the counter of a concession stand, and other unique and oversized environments. Joining forces with fellow lost Sour Patch Kids, players will use a combination of jumps, twists and puzzle-solving to negotiate and overcome larger than life obstacles. Along the way, they will battle unusual candy enemies, escape from deranged humans, and face-off against bizarre creatures including one very angry wad of sticky chewing gum. 

Players will be able to team up with one friend for local co-op play. The console version will include support for global leaderboards, as well as Microsoft Achievements or PlayStation® trophies. World Gone Sour will be available this winter for $4.99 on PC and this spring on PlayStation®Network for $4.99 and on Xbox LIVE Arcade for 400 Microsoft Points.
