Hip Interactive Playboy game ships to retailers
Hip Interactive Corp. has seen its Playboy: The Mansion multi-platform video game shipped to retailers. Available for the PlayStation 2, Xbox and PC platforms, the game allows players to manage the business of the Playboy empire. The game is published by ARUSH Publishing. In other Hip news, the company has announced that the launch date for its Pariah game will be May 3, 2005. The delay from the original March date is being chalked up to May being the “optimum” time to release the game. The company’s other marquee title, Stolen, will launch on March 11 in Europe, and March 22 in North America. Finally, the first of Hip’s new series of video games based on the work of cult horror director George Romero will be developed by Kuju Entertainment, Surrey, UK, according to a news release.
