THQ Inc. today announced that LEGO(R) Knights' Kingdom(TM) for the Nintendo(R) Game Boy(R) Advance is in development for worldwide release. LEGO Knights' Kingdom is an action-packed arcade adventure game based on the LEGO Knights' Kingdom line of toys. LEGO Knights' Kingdom, the next title under a multi-title exclusive publishing agreement between LEGO Interactive and THQ, is scheduled to ship this fall.

"The LEGO brand lends itself to great Game Boy Advance content," stated Tiffany Ternan, senior vice president of North American sales and operations, THQ. "We are extremely excited to release LEGO Knights' Kingdom, another great LEGO title for the Game Boy Advance."

"As the leading independent Game Boy Advance publisher, THQ is the ideal publisher for our LEGO properties," stated Sean Ratcliffe, global brand director for LEGO Interactive. "Last year's titles left fans anticipating more great LEGO games from THQ, and we're confident that LEGO Knights' Kingdom will please our installed fan base, as well as encourage additional gamers to try the franchise."

In LEGO Knights' Kingdom, players will control the hero knights, Jayko, Danju, Santis and Rascus, on their quest to find the Heart of the magical Shield of Ages. In the classic story of Good versus Evil, the band of heroes battle against the evil Dark Knight Vladek, to save the fate of the Kingdom of Morcia. The game will feature nine unique quests, each containing puzzles and mini-quests, that reinforce the hero knights' code of honor: Respect, Loyalty, Honesty and Bravery. In addition, players will compete in head-to-head battles and jousts in the Tournament Arena Mode and timed battles for survival in the Last Man Standing Mode. Using the Game Boy Advance Link Cable, two players will be able to compete against each other in head-to-head battles and jousts. With comic book cutscenes, innovative game controls and exciting multiplayer features, LEGO Knights' Kingdom will offer handheld gamers an experience that redefines the GBA action genre.
