TinyCo cuts deal with Twentieth Century Fox to take Family Guy into mobile games

TinyCo and 20th Century Fox are announcing today that Family Guy is going to become a mobile game. That should make the millions of fans who watch the Fox television show happy as mobile is becoming a big platform for favorite mainstream brands.

The success of the mobile game hit The Simpsons: Tapped Out, created by Electronic Arts for Fox Digital Entertainment (part of the Rupert Murdoch News Corp. empire), showed that there’s a big market for funny games. And that’s what TinyCo is shooting for as it builds the free-to-play game and collaborates with Fuzzy Door, the writers of the Family Guy cartoon.
