SANTA MONICA, Calif.--November 11, 2024--Super League (Nasdaq: SLE), a leader in redefining the gaming industry as a media channel, today announced its partnership with Paramount Pictures to release a custom Gladiator II-inspired Fortnite map, Gladiator Gauntlet, ahead of the film’s release on November 22. To drive awareness of the map and broader awareness of the movie, Super League and Paramount Pictures are collaborating with the creators of multiple popular UEFN maps who will place Gladiator NPCs and portals to Gladiator Gauntlet within their own experiences, including Minigame Box PVP, Bodycam, Chained Together, Bank City, Speed Realistics, and Sniper One Shot Battle.

UEFN is a revolutionary gaming platform enabling brands and IP owners to build captivating worlds for a massive audience interested in interactive entertainment. “Gladiator Gauntlet” will immerse players in the Roman Empire to do battle in the film’s iconic Colosseum, which was designed from a live art scan of its physical counterpart from the film. The experience also will challenge players to fight through a series of trials in other high fidelity arenas inspired by stadiums and locations featured in the movie and modeled after Ancient Rome.

Gladiator is one of the most epic film sagas of all time. With the sequel set to equal the original 2000 film in unforgettable action sequences, Gladiator Gauntlet will offer Generation Z gamers the chance to immerse themselves in glorious battles within history’s most grand arena,” said Super League President and Chief Commercial Officer Matt Edelman. “We’re thankful to Paramount Pictures for enabling Super League to bring such an ideal Fortnite Creative experience to life for an audience primed to head to theaters to experience the grandeur of Gladiator II.”

Leading up to the film’s release date, Paramount Pictures will host custom Gladiator-themed streams run by top Fortnite content creators Typical Gamer, Loserfruit, and Peterbot, on Twitch. The experience is available between November 9 to 29 for entertainment fans over the age of 18.

In celebration of the highly anticipated release of Paddington in Peru, developed, produced and distributed by Studiocanal, everyone’s favourite bear from Peru is making his way into the virtual world with the launch of an all-new interactive Roblox game – Mission Marmalade. Fans young and old can now join Paddington on exciting new adventures in a vibrant, virtual setting.

Paddington: Mission Marmalade allows players to explore and interact with Paddington’s world like never before as they get to help Paddington make as much marmalade as possible. From exploring Paddington’s home in Windsor Gardens and navigating the bustling streets of London to discovering hidden treasures in the depths of the Peruvian jungle, players will join Paddington and his friends on a marmalade filled adventure full of fun, heartwarming challenges, and opportunities to earn exclusive in-game rewards.

This dynamic partnership between Studiocanal Kids & Family and Roblox marks a new frontier in entertainment, blending the world of film with immersive, interactive gaming, designed to reach the platform’s 79m daily users.

Key features of the game include:

  • Adventures in London and Peru: Players can explore interactive locations, including the Brown’s house in Windsor Gardens and the wild jungles of Peru.
  • Collectible items and rewards: Players can unlock special items such as Paddington’s signature red hat and blue duffle coat by completing Challenges.
  • Mini-games and quests: From helping Mrs Bird in her kitchen to make batches of marmalade to navigating Aunt Lucy’s home in Peru, mini-games will offer interactive gameplay for all ages.
  • Exclusive Paddington in Peru elements: Special in-game features will showcase characters, pets, environments, and surprises inspired by the Paddington in Peru film.

The game is designed for fans of all ages, offering a safe and fun space to celebrate the world of Paddington. Developed by one of Roblox’s top partner studios, Feenix, the experience will also be continuously updated with new quests, features and seasonal events.

“We are thrilled to bring Paddington into the world of Roblox and offer fans around the world a completely new, innovative way to experience his adventures,” said Françoise Guyonnet, CEO of Studiocanal Kids & Family. “As Paddington in Peru launches in cinemas next week, this game allows fans to dive deeper into the story and continue the adventure alongside their favourite bear.”

Ciaran Warren, head of Studio at Feenix added: “We are immensely proud of the Paddington experience we have built within Roblox. This immersive world is really pushing the boundaries of innovation and design within the Roblox platform and we believe creates a new benchmark for what is possible within the game when it comes to engaging young fans”.

Paddington: Mission Marmalade launched ahead of the bear’s latest cinematic outing, Paddington in Peru, which was released in UK cinemas on 8th November. The new adventure sees Paddington return home to the Peruvian jungle to visit his beloved Aunt Lucy, now a resident at the Home for Retired Bears. With The Brown Family and Mrs Bird in tow, a thrilling adventure ensues when a mysterious disappearance plunges them into an unexpected journey from the Amazon rainforest to the mountain peaks of Peru.

The partnership was brokered by licensing agency, Player2, which first brought together STUDIOCANAL and Feenix to take Paddington into Roblox.

“We pride ourselves on connecting the best creative expertise in our network with the most exciting IP and brand in the world,” says John Pierce, managing partner, Player2. “With Feenix and STUDIOCANAL we have two partners who share the same creative vision for Paddington and we feel Roblox is the perfect vehicle to bring that IP to both new and existing fans on a global scale.”

STUDIOCANAL unveiled its new STUDIOCANAL KIDS & FAMILY at Brand Licensing Europe in September. With a new logo, STUDIOCANAL KIDS & FAMILY is a rebrand of The Copyrights Group. The rebrand will see STUDIOCANAL KIDS & FAMILY own and manage the Paddington IP and official stores.

Fans can play the new game here.

Supercell, the developers of Brawl Stars, identified SpongeBob SquarePants as the perfect fit for the game's humourous, high-energy action.

As part of the takeover, iconic SpongeBob SquarePants characters have been reimagined as Brawlers, including a muscle-bound El Primo SpongeBob and other fan-favourites such as Patrick, Mr. Krabs, Squidward and Sandy. Brawls will take place on the new Bikini Bottom game map and special, temporary power-ups will provide increased damage, like the Krabby Patty, Clarinet and Kelp Soda.

SpongeBob inside Brawl Stars is absolutely wild and I'm all for it - it's the epic entertainment tag team fans have been waiting for!"

Frank Keienburg, Brawl Stars General Manager (GM), said: "Bringing SpongeBob into the world of Brawl Stars has been on our radar for a while. The worlds of Bikini Bottom and Starr Park complement each other well and considering our community's love for SpongeBob memes, we were confident our players would like to see a collab happen! It's been super fun to see our team bring this to life and be part of this special 25th anniversary for the SpongeBob franchise."

Doug Rosen, Senior Vice President (SVP), Games and Emerging Media, Paramount, said: "Bringing SpongeBob SquarePants into Brawl Stars is an exciting opportunity to unite two beloved franchises with vibrant communities. We know fans will love playing as the cast of characters from Bikini Bottom in the fast-paced world of Brawl Stars and we can't wait to see how they play and explore."
