D3Publisher has struck a deal with DreamWorks Animation to bring the new movie tie-in Madagascar 3: The Video Game to consoles this June.
The game has been pencilled in for release alongside the new movie Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted and will see Alex the lion, Marty the zebra, Melman the giraffe and Gloria the hippo returning for an adventure across Europe.
Gamers will be able to relive the story of the new film, which sees the animals escaping the clutches of a crazy animal control officer as they seek to return to their New York home.
D3Publisher will also be teaming up with DreamWorks to create games based on its next blockbuster films, with Rise of the Guardians coming this Christmas and The Croods scheduled for next year.
Bill Anker, vice president of business development and licensing at D3Publisher, said: "We look forward to working closely with the DreamWorks Animation team to deliver an authentic and compelling gameplay experience that will take the adventures in exciting new directions."
DreamWorks' most recent movie Puss in Boots also received an action-packed videogame spinoff, which was released on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii and Nintendo DS in December.
