Gamers will have the opportunity to moonwalk alongside The King of Pop. Video game developer Ubisoft announced Monday it would release a new dancing-and-singing game featuring Michael Jackson this holiday season. The as-yet-unnamed game will be among the first to use Kinect and Move, the respective motion-detecting camera systems for Microsoft's Xbox 360 and Sony's PlayStation 3 due out later this year. “Your goal is to dance like Michael,” said Tony Key, Ubisoft's marketing vice president. “Do what the guy on the screen is doing and you're there. It'll score you based on the quality of your performance.” The game's launch will roughly coincide with the November debut of a new album containing unreleased Jackson recordings. Versions of the game, which will feature songs from Jackson's catalog, including “Billie Jean” and “Beat It,” will also be available for Nintendo's Wii and the Nintendo DS and PlayStation Portable handheld consoles. The announcement was made during Ubisoft's Electronic Entertainment Expo press conference at the Los Angeles Theater.
