\u201cSpace Jam: A New Legacy\u201d is releasing in theaters and on HBO Max in the U.S. on July 16, and I\u2019m really excited to share what Xbox and Warner Bros. Pictures have in store to celebrate the movie, as well as the video game inspired by the film. We are so exhilarated by the film that we are introducing three exclusive Xbox Wireless Controllers and we\u2019re planning a special update to Microsoft\u2019s Coding Workshops. But before we get into that, let me give you an inside look at the film- and fan-inspired<\/a> Space Jam: A New Legacy – The Game<\/em>.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s Tunes Vs. Goons in Space Jam: A New Legacy \u2013 The Game<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n
\n

This past December, Xbox, LeBron James, and Bugs Bunny \u2013 the ultimate dream team\u2013 invited real-life game fans to submit their ideas for a Space Jam: A New Legacy<\/em>-inspired video game. We are excited to showcase the same game logo, exclusive in-game character art, and gameplay as is shown in the new trailer.<\/p>\n

We were flooded with entries from around the world, and many of them were really great. It was a tough decision. To create the final game, we blended the ideas of two gamers: our youth-competition winner, Narayan from India, and our adult-competition winner, Ricky from the United States. Xbox and Warner Bros. were energized by Ricky\u2019s idea of a classic \u201cbeat \u2019em up\u201d blended with game mechanics that Narayan had suggested. The game is inspired by the upcoming live action\/animated feature film with deep reverence for the lively characters in Space Jam: A New Legacy<\/em> and appreciation of the Tune Squad\u2019s pop culture influence, all while reminiscent of classic arcade games of the 1990s.<\/p>\n

Space Jam: A New Legacy \u2013 The Game<\/em> features the beloved Looney Tunes characters Bugs Bunny and Lola Bunny and the newest member of the Tune Squad, LeBron James, as they face the Goon Squad in a wacky basketball beat \u2018em up. A rogue artificial intelligence named Al G. Rhythm has trapped our heroes inside the Warner Bros. server, with little chance of escape. The Tune Squad must fight their way through a virtual army of Al G.\u2019s creation while also searching for four pieces of \u201cLegacy Code\u201d that will allow them access to the nefarious villain’s secret location. Al G. has sent two members of the Goon Squad \u2013 The Brow and White Mamba \u2013 to stop the Tune Squad in their tracks. Fortunately, our heroes have access to a variety of moves, including a special basketball, and some rather unique Space Jam<\/em> cards, to help them out. But will their teamwork be enough to stop Al G. Rhythm\u2019s evil plans?<\/p>\n

The talented group at Digital Eclipse<\/a>, a game developer known for its dedication to preserving the heritage of gaming, helped bring the game to life. The team is composed of game industry veterans who grew up when arcades were flourishing, and they have recaptured the magic and spirit of games that were popular during that time. Digital Eclipse\u2019s passion for arcade-style video games comes to life through the art, design and feel of the game.<\/p>\n
