Talking Tom creator Outfit7 launches My Talking Hank game

Outfit7, the maker of the enormously popular Talking Tom and Friends mobile app, is launching My Talking Hank in an attempt to keep the momentum going.

Talking Tom debuted in 2010, becoming a hit as kids and adults alike learned how to prompt the funny character to say amusing things about their friends or make farting noises. Since then, its suite of apps has been downloaded more than 5.6 billion times. The franchise has also amassed over 10.3 billion video views of its various branded content online.
