EA Licenses Minions For Multiple Games

Electronic Arts, Illumination Entertainment and Universal announced a new multi-title partnership to bring the Minions and other characters from upcoming Illumination films to life in all-new mobile games.

Minions Paradise, the first game from the collaboration, launches worldwide this summer, allowing players to create their own tropical Minion utopia and take control of a never-seen-before Minion named “Phil.”

As part of this unique partnership, Illumination’s writers, directors, artists, and animators are working hand-in-hand with EA’s mobile development team on the creative of the mobile games.

Minions Paradise will be free to download and introduces a new Minion character named Phil. Phil leads the Minions to create the world of their dreams after finding themselves shipwrecked on a tropical island. Players will help the Minions build, craft and design their ultimate tropical playground, complete with whirling waterslides, electric eel tanks, firefly trees, and of course, plenty of bananas.
