Capcom\u00ae, a leading worldwide developer and publisher of video games, today announced\"\"<\/a> that it will publish World Gone Sour\u2122 on Xbox LIVE\u00ae Arcade for the Xbox 360\u00ae video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation\u00aeNetwork and PC. Based on the popular Sour Then Sweet\u00ae candy Sour Patch Kids\u00ae, the game will take players on a journey from the perspective of a lost piece of candy finding its way to its ultimate destination \u2013 the human stomach.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cSour Patch\u00ae is the #1 all sour candy brand in the U.S. but there is so much more to these iconic characters than just their sour exteriors and sweet interiors,\u201d said Sebastian Genesio, Marketing Director for Sour Patch. \u201cBringing our \u2018lost kids\u2019 to life in video game form will add a new dimension to these lovable snacks. We feel this video game will resonate strongly with our core audience of teens and young adults.\u201d<\/p>\n

 
\n\u201cSour Patch has brought its brand to life in a unique experience that only video games can deliver,\u201d said Christian Svensson, Senior Vice President, Planning & Strategy, Capcom Entertainment, Inc. \u201cWhether you\u2019re a fan of Sour Patch Kids or fun and engaging gameplay, World Gone Sour has something for all gamers to enjoy.\u201d<\/p>\n

 
\nGamers will take on the miniature role of a lost Sour Patch Kid in a stylized human-sized world, guiding the hero through the sticky floors of a movie theater, across the counter of a concession stand, and other unique and oversized environments. Joining forces with fellow lost Sour Patch Kids, players will use a combination of jumps, twists and puzzle-solving to negotiate and overcome larger than life obstacles. Along the way, they will battle unusual candy enemies, escape from deranged humans, and face-off against bizarre creatures including one very angry wad of sticky chewing gum.<\/p>\n

 
\nPlayers will be able to team up with one friend for local co-op play. The console version will include support for global leaderboards, as well as Microsoft Achievements or PlayStation\u00ae trophies. World Gone Sour will be available this winter for $4.99 on PC and this spring on PlayStation\u00aeNetwork for $4.99 and on Xbox LIVE Arcade for 400 Microsoft Points.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In addition, the game will feature the recently released \u201cWorld Gone Sour (The Lost Kids)\u201d track from Grammy award-winning hip-hop artist Method Man. The journey of the Sour Patch Kids will include additional star personality with cheeky narrations by actor Creed Bratton (\u201cThe Office\u201d), who will provide snack-sized quips and tidbits throughout the game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
