News: Popular NBC sitcom The Office will be coming to PC, DS and PSP this fall.

Casual game makers MumboJumbo have announced they've reached a deal with Universal Pictures to create a game based on The Office for the PC, PSP and DS. It is currently scheduled to be released in the fall.

No other details were revealed, but the video game adventures of Michael, Dwight, Jim and Pam have everyone excited:

"The cast and creators of 'The Office' have done a fantastic job delivering a show with a personality all its own," said Bill Kispert, vice president and general manager, Interactive, Universal Pictures Digital Platforms Group. "MumboJumbo is an innovator in the casual games space, and developing a game with them that combines the quirky characters and humor of the show with a proven, addictive game mechanic we think will be welcomed by fans and casual game players alike."

"We are honored that NBC Universal has chosen us to be their partner for this exciting new project," said Mark Cottam, chief executive officer of MumboJumbo. "We look forward to working closely with their team to ensure that the thematic elements of 'The Office' are closely approximated in the development of the video game."
