Baaa-rilliant News: Farmerama Prepares for Shear Madness as Shaun the Sheep Joins the Farm
HAMBURG, Germany, August 10, 2011/PRNewswire/ --
- Farmerama gets the flock treatment as Shaun the Sheep and
the gang join the popular online game
- Bigpoint launches one of the biggest updates to Farmerama with
significant partnership with Aardman Animations and provider of branded
virtual items, Iconicfuture
Love Shaun the Sheep's naughty antics, but reckon that if you were the
farmer, you could manage to prevent some of his more mischievous mistakes?
Well, with the arrival of Shaun the Sheep into Bigpoint's popular online
game, Farmerama (http://www.farmerama.com), now you can.
Shaun the Sheep and his flock including Shirley, Timmy and Timmy's
Mother will arrive in the game in the middle of August 2011 and Farmerama's
existing 150 million sheep are already getting excited to become part of
Shaun's flock. However, Bitzer the put-upon sheepdog is definitely concerned
that with such a big increase to Shaun's flock there may well be
baa-mageddon!
Tobias Reisberger, Chief Games Officer, Bigpoint, says: "We know that
Shaun the Sheep is one of the most popular TV shows across the world and
we're delighted to welcome him into Farmerama. With over 30 million players
of Farmerama across the world, this addition is Shaun to be a star."
