EA Announces The Simpsons Game

The World's Favorite Animated Family Comes To Consoles and Handhelds This Fall!

Redwood Shores, Calif.,  May 9, 2007 – Electronic Arts Inc., (NASDAQ:ERTS) today announced the upcoming release of THE SIMPSONS GAME (working title). Created in partnership with Gracie Films and Twentieth Century Fox Television and Twentieth Century Fox Licensing and Merchandising, THE SIMPSONS GAME features a hilarious, sprawling, and mindbusting storyline crafted by the TV show's Emmy Awardwinning writers. The actioncomedy will also feature the full cast of voice actors from the TV show who will reprise their roles for the game.

            
In THE SIMPSONS GAME, Homer, Marge, Bart, and Lisa use exciting, allnew powers to save the world from rising chaos. To help the Simpsons, gamers at home must journey through all of Springfield (as well as vast worlds beyond!), vanquish an amazing array of villains, and fight their way through parodies of multiple popular games.

"Our goal in developing THE SIMPSONS GAME is to create the most original game ever, which is a lofty goal and only possible given the close collaboration with

'The Simpsons' creative team," said Scot Amos, Executive Producer of the project. "We're also especially proud of the game's warm visual feel, which captures – for the first time ever in a game – the look of the TV show." Added Amos, "As Comic Book Guy says, 'Best. Simpsons Game. Ever!'"
