Blue Sky Studios' upcoming animated spy comedy adventure,
Spies in Disguise, is going to have a mobile tie-in game. Announced today,
Spies in Disguise: Agents on the Run will be an endless runner in which players are sent on
"top-secret missions to collect characters, gear and more in order to become the world’s best special agent."
Spies in Disguise: Agents on the Run seems to be a pretty movie marketing mobile game tie-in. It's pretty straightforward in its design as an endless runner, as players recruit the film's lead characters and help them unlock gadgets, abilities and tricked out spy vehicles. Missions do seem to somewhat vary in their design, but are all based around the mechanic of being an endless runner. That said, this game does appear to have more of a cinematic approach to its design and style, with environments inspired by the upcoming film.
In Spies in Disguise: Agents on the Run, players will recruit the film’s lead characters Walter, Lance, and Marcy to help them unlock futuristic gadgets, amazing abilities, and fully tricked out spy vehicles in their quest to become the world’s best special agent. The mobile game will also feature opportunities for players to compete for weekly rewards by aligning with one of the super-secret spy agencies, as well as a multitude of game modes offering players numerous in-game elements to discover for a highly engaging and truly endless experience.
Spies in Disguise: Agents on the Run will be available for iOS and Android devices this fall. Meanwhile, the movie is slated to hit theaters on Christmas Day. The cast of Spies in Disguise is an impressive one, featuring the likes of Will Smith, Tom Holland, Ben Mendelsohn, Karen Gillan, Rashida Jones, DJ Khaled, and Masi Oka. It's directed by Troy Quane and Nick Bruno.
Super spy Lance Sterling (Will Smith) and scientist Walter Beckett (Tom Holland) are almost exact opposites. Lance is smooth, suave and debonair. Walter is … not. But when events take an unexpected turn, this unlikely duo are forced to team up for the ultimate mission that will require an almost impossible disguise – transforming Lance into the brave, fierce, majestic… pigeon. Walter and Lance suddenly have to work as a team, or the whole world is in peril. Spies in Disguise flies into theaters this Christmas.
Spies in Disguise opens in U.S. theaters on December 25, 2019.
