Press Release
MINNEAPOLIS, June
25, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Get ready for classic arcade
video game action with a whole new modern look and feel as Activision
Publishing Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Activision
Blizzard Inc., (Nasdaq: ATVI) and Disney Interactive today announced
a collaboration to produce and distribute a Wreck-It
Ralph™ video game. As a story extension to the highly
anticipated upcoming blockbuster film of the same name from Walt
Disney Animation Studios, the Wreck-It Ralph video game is
set to inspire a whole new generation of young gamers as a classic,
arcade-style side scroller featuring Ralph — the misunderstood
villain of his own arcade game who sets out to prove he can be a hero
too. Debuting this fall tied to the movie release, Wreck-It
Ralph will bring all the fun from the big screen right into the
living room for the Wii™ system from Nintendo, and the Nintendo
3DS™ and Nintendo DS™ hand-held systems.
"Wreck-It
Ralph, as a brand entity, is perfectly suited for video game
stardom," said David Oxford, Executive Vice
President, Activision Publishing. "With the fantastic
characters and creative atmosphere envisioned by Walt Disney
Animation Studios, we know fans are going to love seeing their
newfound favorite characters embark on an all-new side scrolling
adventure."
From the mind of
Director Rich Moore ("The Simpsons," "Futurama"),
the film chronicles the journey of Ralph, the bad guy in an arcade
game who sets out to prove he can be the hero after all. However
Ralph mistakenly reverts to his clumsy nature and "wrecks"
everything once again, unleashing a deadly enemy threat onto his
video game neighbors. The movie hits theaters on November
2, 2012 and features an all-star voice cast, including John
C. Reilly, Sarah Silverman, Jack McBrayer and Jane
Lynch.
The game picks up where
the movie leaves off as Ralph partners with Fix-It Felix and sets out
to save their friends and home from a huge Cy-Bug invasion. Pounding
through all-new levels in the "Wreck-It Ralph" universe,
like Sugar Rush, Hero's Duty, and Fix-It Felix, Jr., players will
have to use Ralph's destructive strength to beat by the Cy-Bugs,
while switching back to Felixto repair the damage. With
story campaign and two-player co-op on the Wii platform, players can
switch between Ralph and Felix to solve action-packed
puzzles and collect "Hero Medals".

About the Movie
Walt Disney Animation Studios and Emmy®-winning director Rich Moore (TV's "The Simpsons," "Futurama") take moviegoers on a hilarious, arcade-game-hopping journey in "Wreck-It Ralph." Ralph (voice of John C. Reilly, "Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby," "Step Brothers") is tired of being overshadowed by Fix-It Felix (voice of Jack McBrayer, "30 Rock"), the "good guy" star of their game who always gets to save the day. But after decades of doing the same thing and seeing all the glory go to Felix, Ralph decides he's tired of playing the role of a bad guy. He takes matters into his own massive hands and sets off on a game-hopping journey across the arcade through every generation of video games to prove he's got what it takes to be a hero.

On his quest, he meets
the tough-as-nails Sergeant Calhoun (voice of Jane
Lynch, TV's "Glee") from the first-person action game
Hero's Duty. But it's the feisty misfit Vanellope von Schweetz
(voice of Sarah Silverman, "The Sarah Silverman Program")
from the candy-coated cart racing game Sugar Rush, whose world is
threatened when Ralph accidentally unleashes a deadly enemy that
threatens the entire arcade. Will Ralph realize his
dream and save the day before it's too late? "Wreck-It
Ralph" crashes onto the big screen on November 2, 2012, in
Disney Digital 3D™ in select theaters.
