Whilst the North American beta continues to impress on the other side of the Atlantic, Microsoft has announced that the UK version of Xbox Live multiplayer quiz show 1 vs 100 will be released in the UK on July 10th.
The game, which was initially due to be released alongside last year’s New Xbox Experience firmware upgrade, will offer actual prizes for those lucky enough to be selected to take part each time.
“Xbox is delighted to team up with Endemol to bring the hit TV game show 1 vs 100 to the Xbox Live platform and deliver the first truly interactive game show experience,” Microsoft’s Entertainment and Devices boss Stephen McGill stated.
“We believe consumers will really enjoy being able to take part in a real live game show, where they can have fun challenging friends, family and other LIVE members, whilst having the chance to win some really great prizes.” Endemol’s global head of media and new business
Adam Valkin added: “Endemol is very excited to be working with Xbox LIVE to bring the global hit TV game show 1 vs 100 to a new audience. We’re also delighted that Microsoft has chosen a flagship Endemol format to launch its groundbreaking new platform, which takes interactivity and social gaming to a new level.”
