Little Orbit, publisher of the upcoming Young Justice: Legacy game, is teaming up with TNT to produce a new project based on the alien-invasion television series Falling Skies. President Matt Scott said in today’s announcement that the company is “collaborating closely with the show’s own writers to craft the game’s storyline, wholly integrating the Falling Skies universe into a visceral gaming experience.”

Little Orbit will release a Falling Skies title across “multiple consoles” next year. The game “will tie directly into the television series, with a scenario that will weave itself into the existing universe and feature voice work by the show’s actors.”
