Plus someĀ Space Jam-themed Xbox controllers
Space Jam: A New Legacy premieres in a few short weeks on July 16,Ā and not only is the real-life/animation mash-up returning, but it’s also arriving with a tie-in game:Ā Space Jam: A New Legacy – The Game.
Last December, Microsoft partnered with the film to accept fan-submitted video game ideas to create an “original arcade-style video game inspired by the new movie.” The two winnersāRicky from the U.S. and Narayan from Indiaāhad their ideas blended into one retro-style beat ’em up featuring the Tune Squad and LeBron James.
Space Jam: A New Legacy – The GameĀ will have LeBron, Bugs, and Lola Bunny working together to stop members of the Goon Squad and a rogue A.I. named Al G. Rhythm. It’s certainly got the throwback style right, as it was developed by Digital Eclipse. There are also some tie-in Xbox controllers for the game on the way as well.
The controllers hit stores on July 8, while theĀ Space Jam: A New LegacyĀ tie-in game launches first as an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate perk on July 1. It will later be made free-to-play through the Microsoft Store on Xbox on July 15.
