­ Kaplan Test Prep and Admissions and videogame developer and publisher Aspyr Media have entered into a multi-year agreement in which Aspyr will bring Kaplan-branded interactive entertainment products
to market. The first game under the deal will be an engaging, visually dynamic and unconventional title that is rooted solidly in Kaplan¹s SAT* prep curriculum. The game marks Aspyr¹s first foray into developing and publishing original products. Scheduled for release later this year, the SAT
prep game is currently in development at Aspyr Studios and will be published by Aspyr Media for Nintendo DS?, PC and Mac.
 
³Students learn best when they¹re engaged with the study content.  While a videogame shouldn¹t be seen as a substitute for a full prep course, it¹s an innovative and effective way to reinforce preparatory learning,² said
Anthony Manley, General Manager of Pre-College Programs for Kaplan Test Prep and Admissions.  ³At Kaplan, we seek to adapt our offerings to students¹ lifestyle needs. In Aspyr, we found a partner with a proven track record of
creating engaging, dynamic titles that appeal to today¹s teens.²
 
³Aspyr has proven over the years that it excels in caring for huge brands and successfully extending those brands to new audiences,² said Ted Staloch, Executive Vice President for publishing at Aspyr. ³We couldn¹t have asked
for a better partner than Kaplan, a trusted, high profile brand and a company that is the undisputed leader in its field. Aspyr will create games under this brand that will truly surprise and excite people with their
originality.²
