Twelve players will square off to find out who is the “best all around gamer” in the United States in SciFi’s new competition-based reality series, “GameQuest.”
The network gave a green light yesterday to eight episodes of the series, which will air early in 2008 according to the Hollywood Reporter and Variety.
“GameQuest” will feature top game titles from various studios and includes physical challenges that bring video games to life, as well as elimination challenges in an arena before hundreds of spectators. Contestants will compete for a prize package that includes $100,000 and trips to future World Cyber Games events.
“With two out of every three American households playing video games, it’s clear that this mainstream phenomenon is a perfect arena for the channel’s agenda of broadening the brand while celebrating imagination,” Sci Fi channel president Dave Howe said.
The series will be shot in Los Angeles.
