Where's Waldo? He's in the game.
Seems after more than twenty years of hiding in plain site as a franchise with more family appeal and more point and click-ability than it knows what to do with, some big brained R&D game team finally went "There's Waldo!"

Ubisoft just announced it will bring the publishing phenom, Where's Waldo?, to life in a new interactive adventure titled Where's Waldo? The Fantastic Journey.

Created by Ludia Inc., Where's Waldo? The Fantastic Journey, is described by Ubisoft as an original interactive adventure for the whole family, where players scour the virtual globe in search of Waldo, his friends, and other hidden objects.

Reportedly, the Waldo game will also feature a head-to-head multiplayer mode where competitors can thwart opponents by way of power ups like paint spatters and frame freezers.

The game will be available this September for Wii, Nintendo DS, Windows PC and Mac.

"Waldo is one of the most recognizable characters in the world," said Alex Thabet, Founder and CEO of Ludia Inc. "His adventurous spirit is exactly what inspired Ludia to create this dynamic hidden object game series for the whole family to enjoy."
