Ubisoft announced today that it will be developing and publishing the official video game based on Comlumbia Pictures and Sony Pictures Animation's 3D animated movie, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs . The official Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs video game will be releasing later this year for handhelds and home consoles, in conjunction with the film's September release date.

Very few details have been released on the video game so far, but it is likely that the game will focus around the same story as the movie, which was inspired by the Judi Barrett book of the same name, in which food begins falling from the sky like rain. “ Our past projects together have shown that Ubisoft understands how to translate the artistry and storytelling of Sony Pictures Animation’s films to the world of video games," said Mark Caplan, Vice President of Licensing-Hardlines and Interactive at Sony Pictures Consumer Products. "Our teams are already working together to create a fun and engaging interactive game that will extend the film experience."
