In this way, three new video games based on Malnazidos, Way down Y Tadeo Jones 3: Curse of the Mummy, which will come to PS4 and PS5 in the future. David Sanz Verjano, content director for Digital TV at Mediaset Spain explained that “Mediaset Games is here to bring together all the interactive digital entertainment initiatives of Mediaset Spain. In a clearly expanding market like this, the opportunity is unique as we will launch the ‘Malnazidos’ and ‘Way Down’ video games linked to the premieres of two great films of Telecinco Cinema and later the one of Tadeo Jones will arrive”.
Malnazidos is coming to PS4 and PS5
The first of the projects will be Malnazidos, one of Telecinco Cinema’s most ambitious film projects by 2021 as an action-adventure film with touches of fantasy genre set in the Spanish Civil War. The video game will recreate the main characters and settings of the film. In this way, it will develop the aesthetics of both the members of the two opposing sides – national and republican – as well as that of their common enemy, the zombies. The player will be able to take control of a character from the film, whom he will have to guide in the different missions entrusted to him until reaching the final objective: survival.
For its part, Way down It will be based on the Telecinco Cinema film with its homologous title, directed by Jaume Balagueró and starring an incredible international cast. In this stealth, infiltration and puzzle adventure, the objective will be the robbery of the century: the gold chamber of the Bank of Spain. The impregnable building will be rebuilt in an approximate version that had not been recreated in a video game since the time of the mythical ‘Goody’ from Opera Soft.
Tadeo Jones 3: Curse of the Mummy, the third film in the saga, will also be the third video game from Mediaset Games. The starting point of both will take the spectators and players to the moment when Thaddeus discovers an Egyptian mummy in Ancient Mexico: when he opens his sarcophagus, it formulates a curse that turns her friend Mummy, the dog Jeff and the parrot Belzoni into cursed beings. The protagonist must travel around the world to save their lives in a game that is being developed by Gammera Nest, in close collaboration with the producers of the animation film.
