Nat Geo Quiz! “Wild Life” will be appearing on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Wii.

Gusto Games is a vastly experienced development studio that has worked on some hugely successful brands in the past including the likes of Ashes Cricket 2009 on Wii for Codemasters, Championship Manager on consoles for Eidos, as well as Ultimate I Spy & Goosebumps Horrorland, both for Scholastic Inc.

Steve Archer, Development Director at Gusto Games commented, “National Geographic is a globally respected brand, inspirational through its immersive imagery and informative content. It has been a great privilege for us to be given access to National Geographic’s knowledge and assets to ensure that Nat Geo Quiz! “Wild Life” is factual, true to the National Geographic brand whilst making it entertaining to play.

Working with high profile brands is both challenging and rewarding and with Gusto’s many years of experience in dealing with image rights, meeting deadlines and ensuring continuity of established brands, it has proved to be a successful union.”
