Characters Ready to Investigate and Prosecute in Universal App for
iPad, iPhone & iPod touch   



SAN RAFAEL, CA. – December 22, 2011
– Telltale Games, the leading independent publisher and developer of
episodic interactive entertainment, and Universal Partnerships &
Licensing are proud to announce their 'Law
& Order: Legacies' App for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch is
now available on the App Store. Based on NBCUniversal’s Emmy-winning Law & Order TV series, Law & Order: Legacies brings
together an all-star cast of investigators and prosecutors from
multiple Law & Order
franchises.

 

Law & Order is TV’s
top-rated and longest-running crime series consisting of storylines
based on real-life crimes set against the distinctive backdrop of
different law enforcement units. Law
& Order: Legacies will include the likenesses of popular Law & Order investigators
including: Lennie Briscoe (Jerry Orbach, Law & Order), Rey Curtis
(Benjamin Bratt, Law & Order),
Olivia Benson (Mariska Hargitay, Law
& Order: SVU) and Jack McCoy (Sam Waterston, Law & Order) for what can be
considered a Law & Order
“Dream Team” of detectives and prosecutors.

 

Fans will feel like they’re playing the TV show, following dramatic
twists and turns of criminal investigation, assuming the dual roles of
police investigators and district attorneys. They’ll gather evidence
and question suspects as police officers, then prosecute the case and
cross-examine witnesses as attorneys with innovative court room game
play based on moral choice. These moral choices made throughout Law & Order: Legacies lead to
multiple endings in each case: conviction, plea bargain or not guilty!

 

“Law & Order has created
some of the biggest character icons of prime time television, and we
have the freedom to combine the most popular detectives and district
attorneys from multiple franchises into our game,” said Telltale
co-founder and CEO Dan Connors. “Telltale’s games are based on story
and characters above all else and our model of episodic entertainment
