Marc Ecko Entertainment
and Showtime Networks Announce First Details of
Upcoming DEXTER iPhone Game
“Power-Saw To The
People”
October 21, 2008 - New York, NY - Marc Ecko
Entertainment and Showtime Networks today announced
that the upcoming “DEXTER” videogame for iPhone
will be “investigative” in style and developed
by Icarus Studios.
DEXTER is the story of Dexter Morgan, a forensic
blood spatter expert for the Miami Dade Police
Department who is secretly a serial killer
who hunts down people who have escaped justice.
The iPhone videogame based on DEXTER is a mystery
game emphasizing investigation and problem
solving - the player will analyze crime scenes,
uncover evidence, and choose which brand of
justice best suits the situation: the courts
or the “Dark Passenger”. The effectiveness
of every choice and interaction revolves around
the Code of Harry: only kill the guilty, maintain
the Mask, and, above all, don’t get caught!
The game is now in development with Icarus
Studios, a company that is leading the way
in massively multiplayer online games, virtual
worlds, and mobile entertainment
experiences.
"I am so excited to have
Icarus Studios on board to develop the DEXTER
iPhone game,” said Marc Fernandez, Vice President
of Marc Ecko Entertainment. “From the second
we began this project we wanted to throw everything
we had at it, that's exactly why we
wanted Icarus Studios as a partner - a 100
person plus developer focusing their technology
on making the DEXTER game the best it can possibly
be."
“DEXTER is a fresh and cutting edge series
with elements that are perfect for a handheld
videogame, so we are thrilled by this opportunity,”
said James Hettinger, CEO of Icarus Studios.
“We are also extremely pleased to be working
with Marc Ecko Entertainment
and Showtime on this project. They are masters
of entertainment and brands, so we could not
be in better hands.”
