Upon the expiration of its Fighting Fantasy license on August 14, Big Blue Bubble will be required to remove its adventure game books from the App Store. The Warlock of Firetop Mountain, Deathtrap Dungeon, Citadel of Chaos, City of Thieves and Creature of Havoc will no longer be available for purchase after this date, and Big Blue Bubble is not aware of any plans for another developer to rework the classic Ian Livingstone titles. Meanwhile, Australian developer Tin Man Games is the proud owner of a new Fighting Fantasy license, with debut title Blood of the Zombies due soon.

New screens for the DS adventure title Fighting Fantasy: The Warlock of Firetop Mountain have popped up over on CVG.

“We showed the playable prototype of our game to Ian Livingstone back in 2007,” said Damir Slogar, CEO of developer Big Blue Bubble. “Ian immediately recognized the potential and we agreed to continue the development using the Fighting Fantasy brand.

“Around the same time, Steve & Ian had just published the 25th anniversary edition of The Warlock of Firetop Mountain so the choice to base the game on that book was obvious.”

iPhone and iPod Touch are also expected to get versions based on the books later this year.

The DS version is expected to be released just in time for the holidays.
