Ubi Soft and Fox Interactive kick off a global partnership, bringing Planet of the Apes to video games is the press release announcing that "Ubi Soft Entertainment, Fox Interactive, and Visiware have signed a worldwide accord to publish games based on the classic novel Planet of the Apes, written by Pierre Boulle." They also say that: "The games will also feature elements from the classic Planet of the Apes film franchise." This still leaves it unclear how this announcement does or does not relate to the announcement early this year that the release of the Planet of the Apes game based on the original movie that had been in production for some time was uncertain because of the (then) upcoming Tim Burton Planet of the Apes movie (story). Word is "The Planet of the Apes action-adventure games are scheduled to be released around the world on PC this month, followed by a GAME BOY Advance and GAME BOY Color version in November 2001."
