Majesco Entertainment Company publisher of the Zumba Fitness video game franchise that has now sold more than nine million copies worldwide, announced today that Zumba Fitness World Party is expected to launch this October on Kinect for Xbox 360, Wii U and Wii, and later this year on Xbox One, the all-in-one games and entertainment system from Microsoft. Immerse yourself in the movement and music of exotic global destinations in this culturally-rich fitness experience that brings the corners of the Earth into your living room!

This vibrant fitness journey kicks off with the World Party teaser trailer followed by the Brazil destination trailer that marks the first stop in the Passport to Party program. Every month Majesco will release a new destination trailer that gives players a sneak peek of where Zumba will take their in-game workout.

“Innovation defines our Zumba franchise strategy this year,” said Jesse Sutton, chief executive officer, Majesco Entertainment. “World Party’s next gen debut features an exciting new aesthetic that complements the game’s theme and brings the player around the world in an immersive exploration of movement, music and culture. What’s more, our first mobile tablet game, Zumba Dance, breaks new ground as a motion-based app that tracks calorie burn in a flexible on-the-go fitness format. Both of these products exemplify our vision for franchise growth—leverage new technology to create marketable, differentiated experiences on current generation systems while expanding the brand across next gen and mobile platforms.”
