Sesame Street Games Coming to Consoles

By pete_gallagher

Warner Brothers Interactive Entertainment has inked a deal with Sesame Workshop in order to publish a series of games for videogame consoles based on the long running children's television show.

While Sesame Street was, for a time, featured in a slew of games, the last title to be issued featuring Sesame Street content was back in 2001, in a title called Sesame Street Sports that was developed by Bonsai Entertainment.

Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment SVP of Marketing Russell Arons stated:

There's a big open hole in the market. This is the first generation of parents who grew up as gamers. Unlike prior generations where people weren't sure of the value of video games, these are people who know there's value and fun for the whole family.

PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 platforms are expected to be targeted with the new games.
