In order to deliver an outstanding product/game, Ubisoft, ARUSH Publishing and Groove Games have chosen to move the launch of Playboy: The Mansion to Q1 2005.

Playboy: The Mansion allows players to virtually live the charmed life of Hugh Hefner, throwing celebrity-packed parties and interacting with the most beautiful women in the world. Through the game, they can control every aspect of Playboy Magazine, virtually calling the shots on major business moves and directing photo shoots, all from the comfort of a customizable interpretation of the world-famous Playboy Mansion.

Playboy: The Mansion will be available for the PC, the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system, and the Xbox® video game system from Microsoft.
