With reality-driven TV all the rage these days it’s no wonder that someone has decided to make a game based on one of the shows that capped off the current fad. Leave it to Infogrames to sign on to make a game based on Survivor. Here’s the press release:

Further strengthening its position as a global leader in mass-market interactive entertainment, Infogrames, Inc. today announced a major licensing agreement with CBS Consumer Products to develop a line of interactive games based on the CBS network television phenomenon, Survivor. Under terms of the agreement, Infogrames has acquired the exclusive rights to develop and publish games in the United States and Canada for PC and Mac, as well as current and next-generation console platforms including handheld systems. The first game, slated for release in late 2001, will be based on the current Survivor: The Australian Outback series. It is being published by Infogrames' WizardWorks division and is developed by Magic Lantern Playware, a creative business unit of Gold Creek Technology.

"Survivor has captivated and attracted legions of viewers around the world, and we're excited to partner with CBS Consumer Products in bringing this phenomenally popular series to a new medium for fans to enjoy," said Paul Rinde, senior vice president and general manager of WizardWorks. "We're confident that we can meld all of the key aspects of the Survivor concept with the latest technology to create immersive and compelling games with broad appeal to a huge gaming audience."

Survivor places 16 ordinary people in remote regions of the world to live off the land and fend for themselves, while simultaneously competing in a series of challenges and competitions. In each episode, one person is voted off the island by the others, with the last remaining "Survivor" winning the grand prize of one million dollars.

Naturally, "current next generation console platforms including handheld systems" means it's safe to say we'll see these on Nintedo’s GameCube and Game Boy Advance.
