Award-winning developer and publisher Telltale Games has today released Mr. Robot: 1.51exfiltratiOn for iOS. The game was developed by Night School Studio in collaboration with the team behind USA Network’s Emmy-nominated series Mr. Robot.

Mr. Robot: 1.51exfiltratiOn gives players the chance to get personally intertwined with the characters of the fsociety underground hacker group, using the E-Corp Messaging App for one week, in real time, communicating with the group’s members in a race against time to recover data vital to their goal of hacking Evil Corp.

“We’re some of the biggest fans in the world of what Sam Esmail and the teams at Universal Cable Productions and USA have created with this series,” said Sean Krankel, co-founder of Night School Studio. “Working hand in hand with Sam, series writer Kor Adana and UCP, we’ve created an opportunity for players to meaningfully interact with characters like Elliot (Rami Malek), Darlene (Carly Chaikin) and Cisco (Michael Drayer), truly feeling like they’re joining the hack at a critical moment in the TV series. As fans, it’s nothing short of a dream come true for us.”

“Ever since MR. ROBOT burst onto the scene, fans have been looking for new ways to immerse themselves more deeply into its story and overall experience,” said Richard Rothstein, Executive Vice President, Current Programming, Universal Cable Productions. “This game does just that, giving players a chance to interact with the series characters on a journey only possible in the world of MR. ROBOT.”

“Night School Studio is one of the most promising small developers in the industry, and seeing Telltale alumnus and writer Adam Hines writing alongside the team at UCP and USA on an interactive story with our partners at NBCUniversal makes us proud to present this to MR. ROBOT and Telltale fans everywhere,” said Steve Allison, SVP, Publishing at Telltale Games. “There’s a distinct Telltale style to all of the character interactions that our fans will find familiar, and fans of the show will be engrossed all through the night as they race to help fsociety pull off the unthinkable.”

Sounds like fans of the TV show will love this! Check out the behind-the-scenes developer video following this post as well.
