Goat Simulator Designer Teams Up With PewDiePie To Develop Games
Felix Kjellberg, AKA popular YouTube personality PewDiePie, revealed that he's teamed up with Goat Simulator Designer Armin Ibrisagic to release a mobile game called PewDiePie’s Tuber Simulator. The game is exactly what it sounds like: you play an aspiring YouTuber trying to rise up in popularity. It looks colorful and comic and is available on both iOS and Android platforms.
In an interview with Variety, Ibrisagic offered some insight into the partnership, saying "“Comedy is huge in entertainment but it still feels in its infancy in the games industry — Felix and I would like to work on changing that.”
The two plan to develop and release more games in the future under the name DoubleMoose.
Our Take
Love him or hate him, it's hard not to be impressed with Kjellberg's influence and how he wields it. We're curious to see what sort of humor games emerge from DoubleMoose.
