Microïds — Anuman Interactive’s video games publishing label — has signed an agreement with Los Angeles-based Reeder Brand Management for the rights to the name and likeness of legendary director Alfred Hitchcock as well as elements of his film Vertigo.  

Elliot Grassiano, VP, Microïds: Microïds has a long tradition of developing adventure games, and in this case, we’ll be taking one of the all-time classics from the Master of Suspense and merging it with Pendulo Studios’ expertise. We want to provide players with a video game that will become a classic of the genre.

The game will be a re-interpretation of the film, drawing on the themes and aesthetics of Alfred Hitchcock’s masterpiece. It will be developed by Pendulo Studios, creators of the Runaway and Yesterday franchises.

Felipe Gómez, CEO, Pendulo Studios: After so many years of blending the language of cinema with that of interactive media, and after a bunch of thriller games in our catalog, it’s an honor and an exciting challenge to adapt Hitchcock’s masterpiece to a video game. We are working hard to meet the expectations of both players and moviegoers.

Obviously, the proceedings are at a very early stage. We’re sure more info will be forthcoming about the game over time.
