Wallace & Gromit date and demo

First episode out next week.

Telltale Games has released a demo version of Wallace & Gromit: Fright of the Bumblebees, the first instalment in its four-episode series, which launches on 24th March for PC.

To grab the demo, head over to the official website, where you can also check out a new trailer and consider a special pre-order deal, where you get 25 per cent off the usual price of the series (USD 26 instead of USD 34.95) and a free episode of Sam & Max and Strong Bad.

The first episode of Wallace & Gromit's Grand Adventures sees the quirky duo in a race to produce enough honey to satisfy a local shopkeeper's crumpet festival requirements.

The other episodes - The Last Resort, Muzzled! and The Bogey Man - will follow in May, June and July respectively. The series is also coming to Xbox Live Arcade, although exact dates have yet to be confirmed.

Look out for our review of Fright of the Bumblebees early doors on 24th March. In the meantime, check out our Wallace & Gromit's Grand Adventures preview, where design director Dave Grossman explains how the series came to be and what's in store.
