The King of Pop hasn’t had a moment of rest since that whole death thing. After a dwindling career, the death of Michael Jackson has brought about a resurgence within the entertainment industry, continuously offering new singles, albums, films and video games. Aside from Ubisoft’s upcoming Michael Jackson: The Experience dancing game, another new Michael Jackson title has been announced.
Introducing Planet Michael, a new PC based MMO title brought to you by SEE Virtual Worlds in collaboration with the Michael Jackson Estate. The game’s planet is to be drenched with all things within Michael’s universe, iconic elements taken from his wardrobe to his music videos to his album art (the first two screenshots shown our gallery are based on his video concepts for “Billie Jean” and “Thriller”). The goal is to bring people together, to connect in a world where Michael Jackson is the greatest recording artist in the history of music, a fact millions of his fans believe to be true.
“Michael was always exploring creative new ways technology could enhance the experiences of his fans, and for that reason we are thrilled to be working with SEE Virtual Worlds to build a global interactive experience that befits an artist as innovative as Michael Jackson” said Die Hard’s John McClain, co-executor of the Estate.
We’ll update you on the development of Planet Michael, as it’s scheduled to release in late 2011.
