Banijay Brands announced that it will extend its deal with award-winning game development studio, 9th Impact, for the globally interactive Big Brother mobile game. 9th Impact has partnered with leading free-to-play games publisher, Tilting Point, for the upcoming launch of Big Brother: The Game II.

The multiplayer online reality TV game is available worldwide for Apple and Android devices and PC download. With a life-changing prize fund up for grabs, players can become virtual housemates, experiencing life as a Big Brother contestant. They must make strategic choices to remain in the house and ultimately become victorious.

Banijay Brands commercial director, gaming and gambling Lex Scott said, “Following the success of Big Brother: The Game I, we are delighted to extend our partnership with 9th Impact. Bringing in Tilting Point’s publishing expertise, we are set to supercharge the upcoming game, and entertain Big Brother fans around the world with this unique and immersive experience.”

9th Impact head of development Finn Krewer commented, “We have been building new house designs, new games and new mechanics like house juries, so I can’t wait for people to play on December 16 and hear what they think.”

Tilting Point VP corporate development and business development Saad Khan added, “Big Brother: The Game has been defining the genre of Massively Multiplayer Reality TV games and the new tournament is introducing more gameplay innovation like real life auditions, so we’re excited to be extending the reach of this title to a global audience.”

Big Brother: The Game has two modes – Housemate and Spectator. The game is free to download, and the Spectator mode is free with optional purchases. To become a Housemate the player must use a Token to enter the House which is an in-app purchase or audition to get an existing Housemate to sponsor their Token entry. Launching on 15 October 2020, Big Brother: The Game I ran for 288 days and ended with Amy from Delaware beating 33,724 rival contestants to walk away with a $33,000 grand prize.

Big Brother first aired in the Netherlands over 20 years ago. Since then, over 500 series have aired across 69 markets, producing over 28k episodes. 7,000+ housemates from around the globe have spent over 35,000 days in the house, with over 5,000 live evictions. The format continues to deliver hit primetime ratings in long-running markets such as the US, Canada, Brazil, Italy, and Israel, while continuing to evolve, with high-profile comebacks in Australia and Benelux.
