The Game Factory announces Code Lyoko for Wii

The Game Factory, noted for their publication of Legend of the Dragon, has just announced they will be handling the publication of Neko Entertainment‘s upcoming Code Lyoko game for the Nintendo Wii.

An ongoing television animated series in France, Code Lyoko tells the story of boarding school students Aelita, Jeremie, Odd, Ulrich, and Yumi, and their adventures in the virtual world of Lyoko – itself housed in a supercomputer.

The series deals with the group’s constant battles with the virtual entity X.A.N.A. who is constantly attempting to take over Lyoko. It also deals with the group’s constant struggles in their daily lives.  Expect plenty of teen angst, love triangles, and healthy combinations of 2D and 3D animation.

Code Lyoko has already been running for three season, with the game taking off at the series’ (still under works) season 4. For the long-time fans, expect these features to be present in the video game port:

• Battle through the 2D real world and 3D world.
• Interact with their favourite characters – Odd, Yumi, Ulrich, Aelita, and Jeremy.
• Explore 40+ different locations with a storyline based on the fourth season of the animated series
• Battle using a range of skills including shooting, fighting, puzzle solving and exploration.
• Delve into the digital sea with the new season 4 vehicle, in search of the mysterious creature which infected their world
• Discover a new 3D territory
• Fight new bosses

As for Game Factory president Henrik Mathiasen’s thoughts on the publishing deal:

Fans of Code Lyoko, and those new to the series, will be able to immerse themselves in the game in new and exciting ways using WiiÂ’s unique controls and gorgeous graphics. This game further demonstrates our commitment to both next generation consoles, and working with leading International childrenÂ’s brands.

 
The game is expected to launch this Q4 2007.
