In news that should surprise neither mobile game enthusiasts or Taylor Swift fans, the pop megastar has announced she’s coming out with her own mobile game.
Due out in late 2016, Taylor Swift’s game will be made by Glu Mobile, the studio behind Kim Kardashian: Hollywood, which sparked something of a celebrity games mini-craze. Since then, Glu Mobile has also developed a game for Taylor’s would-be rival, Katy Perry, and now is turning their attention toward Swift herself.
“We realize that Taylor and her global fan base expect a new and highly differentiated mobile gaming experience,” Glu CEO Niccolo de Masi said while announcing the deal. “Glu is equally committed to designing never before seen gameplay elements that utilize Taylor’s unique creativity. Accordingly, we will spend the required development time to ensure this innovation is achieved.”
Next to no details have been given about the game other than its mere existence, but Glu’s past titles for Kim Kardashian and Katy Perry share a signature, cartoony animation style, and involve working and touring to earn money for clothes and other purchases. Naturally, the fastest way to buy things in these games is with real-world money, hence why they’ve been insanely profitable.
