AMGI Studios has launched early access for its free-to-play title My Pet Hooligan — a AAA title available exclusively through the Epic Games Store. The action-packed bunny fighter blends Hollywood-style animation technology, solid physics-based mechanics and a team deathmatch gameplay, featuring a roster of diverse playable rabbit characters.
“My Pet Hooligan merges Disney-style animation with proprietary technology in a Fortnite-style platform,” explained AMGI Studios Chief Creative Officer & Chief Technology Officer Colin Brady, a former animation lead at Pixar. “Our lively community rallies behind freedom-fighting rabbits using quirky weapons battling MetaZuckBot’s oppression. Along with battle games, players can customize and chat in social arenas like theaters, karaoke bars and malls.”
In addition to being available on the Epic Games Store, AMGI has signed a 12-month collaboration with Prime Gaming, which will offer exclusive content drops monthly for Prime members. Prime Gaming subscribers who access the game through the platform in the next 12 months will receive exclusive digital bundles of customized My Pet Hooligan in-game content, including in-game wearables, skins, badges and special offers. The first drop, available thru October 19, includes Max’s Zip-up Hoody, Jeans and Shoes as well as Thumps by Kré Black Headphones. New drops will be available monthly for the next 12 months.
“We put storytelling and animation first to create highly engaging gameplay. Some might like to skate around the city finding digital collectibles and destroying ZuckBots, while others will battle it out in Coinpocalypse or Team Anarchy — and that is perfectly fine with us,” said Luke Paglia, Chief Operating Officer of AMGI Studios. “Having partners like Amazon Prime Gaming and Epic Games supporting us allows us to launch the game in a way that focuses solely on the gameplay and enriches the gamer experience.”
AMGI Studios is growing its footprint as a gaming animation tech pioneer, and is led by several entertainment industry veterans. CCO/CTO Brady has taken the helm in pushing forward the studio’s proprietary technology that aims to bridge the gap between gaming and traditional entertainment.
Beyond the game world, Brady and the studio believe My Pet Hooligan has plenty of IP potential across animation content, licensing and more. Several deals are already lined up with publishing and studio partners, to be announced.
My Pet Hooligan is available to download for free on Epic Games Store. Learn more at mypethooligangame.com.
