Official My Little Pony Games Bringing Friendship and Magic to Mobile Devices
While fans around the world slave over their own video game creations, Hasbro has teamed up with the mobile masters at Gameloft to deliver official games based on My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, with the first offerings due out in time for Hearth's Warming Eve, er, Christmas.
While there have been official My Little Pony video games in the past, Gameloft's newly-announced partnership with Hasbro marks the first time the Friendship is Magic television show version of the characters will be appearing in video game form. No, I'm not counting My Little Pony: Twilight Sparkle, Teacher for a Day; that's an educational app. It's supposed to be an educational app, at least.
"Hasbro's position as a leading branded play company makes this a very strong alliance for Gameloft," said Gonzague de Vallois, Senior Vice President of Publishing at Gameloft via official press release. "The opportunity to collaborate on such globally recognized brands such as My Little Pony and Littlest Pet Shop not only allows us to build a unique and immersive universe for the characters we've all grown to love, but to take the much-adored franchises to the next level of digital play."
Oh yeah, they're doing Littlest Pet Shop too. Sorry, slipped my mind.
Gameloft is one of the better mobile platform developers, so I trust they'll bring quality work to iOS, Android and other mobile platforms when the time comes. Besides, with their penchant for aping popular titles perhaps we'll finally get a working version of Mares of War.

My Little PonySan Diego, CA (July 13, 2012) At Comic-Con International, IDW Publishing and Hasbro, Inc. teamed up to announce the addition of yet another hugely successful brand to their portfolio. Based on the Hasbro characters from the popular My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic animated series, created by Hasbro Studios and currently airing on The HUB TV Network in the US, IDWs MY LITTLE PONY: FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC comics will offer all-new stories featuring the beloved ponies: TWILIGHT SPARKLE, PINKIE PIE, RARITY, FLUTTERSHY, RAINBOW DASH, AND APPLEJACK.
My Little Pony is a highly successful brand and were incredibly excited to have the opportunity to extend the franchise through this collaboration with Hasbro, said IDW CEO and Publisher, Ted Adams. We look forward to providing new stories for the fans and launching their favorite ponies into comic book form.
Fans of the animated series will be excited to hear that the comics will stay true to its moral foundation, while providing themes and subject matter that will appeal to fans of all ages. MY LITTLE PONY: FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC will bring new adventures to the ponies as they help residents of Ponyville while learning memorable lessons about the meaning of friendship.
We are thrilled to be working with IDW to bring another of Hasbro's hottest brands to comics. As they have proven time and again with TRANSFORMERS and G.I. JOE, IDW does a terrific job translating Hasbro's iconic brands & characters to the medium. Match that expertise with the excitement and all-ages appeal of My Little Pony Friendship is Magic, and there is no doubt that the time has come for MY LITTLE PONY comics, said Michael Kelly, Director of Hasbro's Global Publishing.
Coming in November 2012, the series will be written by Katie Cook (Gronk), who has previously worked on DC and Marvel Comics. Taking on the artistic duties is Andy Price (DC Legacy, Batman Archives), with special covers throughout the series by artists including Jill Thompson (Sandman, Beasts of Burden), Stephanie Buscema (Womanthology), and many more.
Hasbros My Little Pony brand was re-launched in 2003 and has brought fun, friendship & joy to millions of kids of all ages around the globe. The My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic animated series premiered on October 10, 2010, on The Hub TV Network, gaining much acclaim due to its brilliantly written plot lines, high quality graphics as well as the overarching message of friendship!
