First released on the Atari 2600 in 1982 the Pitfall franchise has reportedly sold over 10 million titles around the world and this latest title will once again combine the action of reptile dodging and vine swinging of old with clever puzzles.
Set in the Peruvian jungle, Pitfall: The Big Adventure will feature over 60 levels spanning rainforests, creature-filled caves, and glacial mountains. Within these worlds, players will explore cavernous jungles, discover lost treasures, battle shamen, narrowly escape treacherous traps and outwit creatures using game mechanics developed specifically to take advantage of the Wii motion sensing controls.
“Pitfall is one of the most legendary franchises in the history of videogames, so we look forward to releasing a new version exclusively for Wii,” said Dave Oxford, Activision Publishing. “What could be more fun than using the Wii Remote to swing on a vine over blood thirsty crocodiles as retro-cool Pitfall Harry?!”
In charge of the project is developer, Edge of Reality, who are also currently working on Activision's Incredible Hulk title.
