The July 16 release date for “Space Jam: A New Legacy” starring Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James is inching closer.
In the film, James will team with Bugs Bunny and the Tune Squad in a basketball game against the Goon Squad to save his son who is trapped in the digital world.
Beyond the movie, “Space Jam: A New Legacy” will also have different mediums to interact with the various characters.
King, the mobile gaming company, announced it is teaming with “Space Jam: A New Legacy” in a crossover event with the popular game, “Candy Crush Saga.”
Here’s what the game will entail, according to the official statement via King:
“With the support of LeBron and Tiffi, players must work their way through the levels to free Lola Bunny, Daffy Duck and Bugs Bunny from the gum trapping them in the map. As players free the Tune Squad and climb up the event leader board, they will unlock a variety of special treats, including exclusive new film content from Space Jam: A New Legacy. The limited-time event will also feature a movie-themed Treasure Box quest, where players can collect a haul of in-game boosters if completed.”
It will be available to download and play on IOS and Android from July 6 to July 19, and a Space Jam-themed season pass will be available to use in Candy Crush Soda Saga from July 8 to July 29.
James will also star in the new “Space Jam: A New Legacy – The Game” available exclusively on Xbox. It resembles an old-school arcade game with the ability to play as different characters ranging from James to various Looney Tunes icons.
