New 'Scribblenauts' dated for later this year

Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment have announced plans to create the next 'Scribblenauts' for Nintendo DS, a follow-up to the videogame where players use their imagination to write any word, bring that object to life and use it to solve puzzles.

Available in spring 2010, the follow-up game expands the elements from the acclaimed first title with inventive new features, including an adjectives system that allows players to push the limits of their imagination to create their own experience.

In this new game created and developed by 5TH Cell, players use the stylus and touch screen to help Maxwell, the game's hero, acquire the "Starite", the prize earned from solving the puzzle, in even more robust challenges and redesigned levels. Players now have the ability to write any object that comes to mind and modify it in any way they desire using adjectives to reach the goal in each level. Adjectives can change the colour, size, elements, behaviours and many other aspects of the object they are describing. Multiple adjectives can be combined together to produce incredibly creative objects, allowing the player's imagination to run wild for a unique and individualistic experience.

"The 'Scribblenauts' sequel gives all players an enhanced game experience they will love and new challenges where they can use their imaginations even more," said Samantha Ryan of Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. "5TH Cell is a very talented and creative developer and we are excited to add to the 'Scribblenauts' franchise with this new game."

"The next 'Scribblenauts' broadens the players' experience from the first 'Scribblenauts' through more creativity, innovation and in-depth gameplay," said Jeremiah Slaczka of 5TH Cell. "All of these enhancements give players even greater control over how they want to play the game."
