“Chaotic has quickly earned its place among the top trading card games on the market,” said David Oxford, Activision Publishing. “We’re excited to create a fresh experience which will appeal to video game fans and Chaotic enthusiasts alike.”
According to the publisher, the Chaotic video game will combine action, role playing and turn-based strategy gameplay elements. Set in the world of Perim, a 3D world filled with various characters from the best-selling trading card game and hit animated series, players will build and manage their own army of Chaotic creatures. They will fight enemies, collect battlegear and unlock new mugic (magic) spells and attacks. The Chaotic video game will be filled with upgrades and unlockables to keep players engaged.
"Chaotic was the first trading card franchise specifically designed to connect competition with online interaction, so it’s a natural fit for the property to evolve into videogames,” said Alfred R. Kahn, Chairman and CEO, 4Kids Entertainment in a press release. “Fans are eagerly anticipating the opportunity to take their battles to the next level… and now a Chaotic video game is on the horizon.”
The translation of the game from TCG to videogame has been well thought out.
“The Chaotic brand is inherently well-suited for video games because of its one-of-a-kind creature art, compelling storylines and imaginative environments,” said Bryan C. Gannon, CEO, Chaotic USA Entertainment Group. “We’re confident these core elements and a world class publisher such as Activision will result in a phenomenal game.”
Chaotic looks to extend the experience from the table top game into the video game world. Only time will tell if it's the next Metal Gear Acid or another Digimon.
