In what could be the most confusing press-release ever sent from Activision to our virtual doorway, the company has stated that Marvel writer Daniel Way will write the story for the upcoming title ‘Deadpool’.
Fans of the comic-series will know Daniel Way as the regular writer for the loudmouth mercenary. High Moon Studios is set to develop the game while Activision will take on the role as publisher.
In a prepared statement sent to us in the press-release, “Deadpool” talks about the decision to bring Way onboard:
“I, Deadpool, ‘hired’ Peter Della Penna and his physically embarrassing team at High Moon Studios for two reasons: First, because of their close proximity to Mexico so I can get fresh, authentic chimichangas delivered daily,†said Deadpool, newly self-appointed Head of High Moon Studios, and Supreme Commander of PR, Marketing, Legal, and just about everything I want to be in charge of at Activision Publishing, Inc. “Second, if High Moon can make an amazing game about big transforming robots look cool, then they can surely make me look amazing in a third-person action video game, from all angles (seriously Peter…my bottom is my good side, so don’t screw this up).â€
And now, a quote from that other guy at High Moon Studios:
“We weren’t actually planning on making a Deadpool game,†said Peter Della Penna, formerly Head of High Moon Studios and now second in command. “But,Deadpool came by the studio one day, said he was taking over, and that if I didn’t hire Marvel writer Daniel Way pronto and make the most amazing Deadpool video game, he’d break both of our arms and beat us to death with them. I have kids, so we’re making the game.â€
Deadpool is set to release on PS3 and Xbox 360 in 2013.
