Playboy to take on World of Warcraft with Bunny-themed MMORG

Playboy Manager, coming soon...

Always wondered what Hugh Hefner’s life’s like? You could soon find out, because a Playboy-themed “Massively Casual Online Game” (MCOG) is in development.

Although it’s unlikely to displace World of Warcraft, EVE or Ultima, Playboy Manager will see you play a crack talent agent who must manage the career of some of Playboy’s hottest up-and-coming models.

You’ll compete against other players to help guide your chosen model’s career toward her ultimate goal - becoming a world-renowned Playmate with a permanent room in the Playboy Mansion.

Said to combine “the best elements of trading card and turn-based gaming”, Playboy Manager will also feature exclusive Playboy content, such as steamy videos and photos.

Will there be other features for the 'I read it for the articles' brigade, we wonder?

You may want to think twice about where you play the MCOG though, because the game’s publisher, Jolt, has suggested you “play it during a lecture, on your phone or even in the office”.

Playboy Manager will be launched globally this summer and you can register online to take part. ®

@"They already headed this move by Playboy off by issuing wearable bunny ears as a quest item from this year's online WoW Easter event." - i seriously hope you are joking.... totty or orks in bunny ears, its a hard choice for me....

@"Why wasn't this an NSFW article?" - why is it NSFW? a cartoon of a bloke and some woman in a bikini.... are you working in the middle east?

doesnt anyone else think this owuld be a great way of tossing off a few hours of work? pardon the pun. :)

and btw - not all of us want to sit and lose our lives in sadville, i mean WoW. this looks like a bit of fun.
