One of the more anticipated movies of this year, at least for myself, happens to be the third installment into the Men In Black series. Well we will now be getting an official game for Men In Black 3 thanks to a partnership between Gameloft and Sony Pictures.
While details are still sparse regarding what Men In Black 3, the game, will entail, we do know that players will get a chance to interact and play with some of the main characters and aliens from the upcoming movie, but also get to play the game using some of the weaponry and equipment found in the movie as well. Everything from the Neuralyzer and Gravity Bombs and, of course, the Noisy Cricket.
We are guessing that this will be an action game, most likely a side-scrolling or possibly a top-down perspective but we are only speculating. We do know that the game will give players ‘keys’ to the Men In Black universe which will give players plenty of interactivity with the MIB world. We also know that the game will be released on the same day as the movie, May 25th, 2012 and looks to be a freemium title. As more details, and hopefully screenshots, come out, we will update everyone.
