Space Jam: A New Legacy game launches next week

'Space Jam: A New Legacy - The Game' is set to be released next week.

The upcoming title - developed by Digital Eclipse - has been inspired by fan-submitted ideas as part of a competition, with the team deciding on a '90s-style arcade beat-'em-up.

The game - which will be accompanied by new themed Xbox controllers is coming to Xbox, PC and mobile to promote the upcoming sequel.

Initially, it'll be released exclusively on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, before getting a wider free-to-play release via the Microsoft Store on July 15.

Gamers will get to control Bugs Bunny, Lola Bunny and LeBron James as they battle a virtual army controlled by evil AI.

In a blog post, the team teased: "The Tune Squad must fight their way through a virtual army of Al G.’s creation while also searching for four pieces of 'Legacy Code' that will allow them access to the nefarious villain’s secret location.

"Al G. has sent two members of the Goon Squad – The Brow and White Mamba – to stop the Tune Squad in their tracks.

"Fortunately, our heroes have access to a variety of moves, including a special basketball, and some rather unique Space Jam cards, to help them out.

"But will their teamwork be enough to stop Al G. Rhythm’s evil plans?"
