Nickelodeon And Activision Announce "SpongeBob HeroPants" Video Game

Activision Publishing, Inc. and Nickelodeon are taking you under the sea by teaming up with global superstar SpongeBob SquarePants and his Bikini Bottoms friends in "SpongeBob HeroPants", a brand-new video game based on Nickelodeon's hit-animated TV series! This action platformer will be released for the Xbox 360 games and entertainment system from Microsoft, the Nintendo 3DS hand-held system, PlayStation Vita handheld entertainment system and PlayStation TV in the USA on Tuesday 3rd February 2015, three days before Nickelodeon Movies and Paramount Animations' "The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water" hits theaters, and will arrive in Europe during March 2015!


All is not well in Bikini Bottom following the events of Paramount Pictures' "The SpongeBob™ Movie: Sponge Out of Water", the new animated/live-action feature film hitting theaters worldwide from February 2015. SpongeBob's dreams are coming to life and altering space and time beneath the waves. SpongeBob must join forces with his friends to unlock their hidden abilities and put back the pieces of his shattered cartoon psyche. Along the way they'll visit alternate forms of Bikini Bottom as it is warped by SpongeBob's mind into prehistoric, war zone and candy-coated versions of the town.


"SpongeBob HeroPants" is an action game with a focus on platforming, exploration and light puzzles and combat. Each of its six playable characters – SpongeBob, Patrick, Squidward, Sandy, Mr. Krabs and Plankton – can morph into their unique super-powered champion as seen in "Sponge Out of Water" - The Invincibubble (SpongeBob), Mr. Superawesomeness (Patrick Star), The Rodent (Sandy Cheeks), Sour Note (Squidward Tentacles), Sir Pinch-A-Lot (Mr. Krabs) and Plank-Ton (Sheldon J. Plankton) - to solve challenges, unlock new areas and defeat SpongeBob's crazy imagination. The full adventure features boss battles, upgradeable skills and a treasure trove of hidden items to unearth. It also includes four-person local drop-in/drop-out cooperative multiplayer on Xbox 360. "SpongeBob HeroPants" is rated PEGI 7 in Europe.

"The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water" will be released in theatres in the USA on Friday 6th February 2015 and in Digital 3D and 2D in cinemas across the UK on Friday 27th March 2015!
