Kinectimals Now With Bears Announced

An expansion pack to last year's popular kids game Kinectimals has been announced today. Creatively titled Kinectimals Now With Bears, the upcoming release (if you hadn't guessed already by now) adds bear cubs as pets for you to play with. This will beef up an already considerable line-up of eleven feline playmates available to adopt in the game, so it's a good move by developer Frontier that those of us who already own the original can simply purchase the pack via Xbox Live. For those of you new to Kinectimals, a package of both the game and its DLC (alone called Bear Island) will be available to purchase at retail for a price of around £40. It's a risky move by Frontier bearing in mind that new games for Microsoft's Kinect like Kinect Star Wars, Kinect Sports: Season Two and Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary, recently announced to be compatible with the camera peripheral, are on their way too this year, so we'll just have to wait and see how popular the new version turns out to be. Kinectimals Now With Bears will release in stores and on Live this Autumn.
