Publisher Vivendi Universal Games says the development of The Incredible Hulk for PlayStation 2, Xbox and GameCube will be developed by Radical Games, creators of the critically-acclaimed The Simpsons: Hit & Run.

"Our collaboration with Marvel on The Incredible Hulk will give gamers the opportunity to play as one of the most powerful and exciting characters to ever exist," said Michael Pole, EVP, Worldwide Studios, VU Games. "The Incredible Hulk will deliver unlimited power and freedom immersed in an authentic world that will engage Hulk fans and core gamers."

"We are very excited to have Radical developing this new Hulk title, continuing another blockbuster Marvel game franchise," said Ames Kirshen, Director Of Video Game Development at Marvel Enterprises. "Vivendi Universal Games and Radical are creating an interactive world where the player will have all of the freedoms and larger than life abilities of the Hulk in enormous and interactive 'sandbox' environments which really capture the essence of the character."

Based on The Incredible Hulk character franchise from Marvel Enterprises, the storyline will be written by Eisner Award-winning comic book writer Paul Jenkins (Hulk, Spider-Man) and feature high-quality original art created by signature comic artist Bryan Hitch (The Ultimates), providing an unprecedented integration with The Incredible Hulk universe.

The Incredible Hulk will be available at retail in Winter 2005.
