Deep Silver signs Prison Break game deal

This will probably not turn out the way it was intended, but Deep Silver has inked a deal with Twentieth Century Fox Licensing & Merchandising to publish a video game based on the popular Fox television series Prison Break. The game is being developed by Zootfly, will be released by Deep Silver for next gen consoles and PC at an undisclosed date.

The protagonist of the Prison Break game is Company agent Tom Paxton, who is sent to the Fox River State Penitentiary to find out why Michael Scofield (the hero of the TV series), a man without a previous criminal record, became a bank robber. The storyline runs parallel to the first season of Prison Break, with Paxton encountering several characters from the series and experiencing key events from his own perspective.

Good luck Deep Silver.
