NetEnt to Adapt Planet of the Apes

apes_luckstersThe popular Planet of the Apes brand spans across 50 years, with the first film premiering in 1968. This fact only makes the new license agreement signing between NetEnt, one of the leading providers of digital gaming solutions, and 20th Century Fox all the more interesting. The fandom of the franchise is indeed a big one, and we have no doubt the whole community will eagerly expect the first NetEnt adaptation, and the first in online casino gaming, to appear. That moment will be set sometime in the second half of 2017, as it is announced.

This exclusive license from 20th Century Fox Consumer Products allows the prominent Swedish developer to use popular material and shape it through stunning graphics and unique game structure into something that will attract both the brand lovers and casual slot players.

It will surely be exciting to see where NetEnt will begin their exploration of the matter. With the original book and the first film being somewhat of an introduction into the big cultural impact the Planet of the Apes had to the most recent blockbuster movie releases Rise of the Planet of the Apes (2011) and Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (2014) and their huge commercial success, the anticipation will be big and justified.

NetEnt and 20th Century Fox partnership has brought us excellent movie adaptations so far – think Aliens slot, for example. To this day the popular video slot is one of the most sought-out titles in any NetEnt casino, which gives us faith about them tackling this new and exciting project under exclusive license from the studio.

Branded slot lovers were never disappointed by NetEnt’s gaming solutions and we see no reason why this would happen now. On the contrary, we’re convinced in yet another triumphant release from NetEnt. A little patience and we’ll be able to see the Planet of the Apes world brought to life once again in a product that will ‘fit perfectly with NetEnt’s wide and diverse player base’, as professed by Simon Hammon, Chief Product Officer of the company.
