NinjaBee has announced that A World of Keflings is now available for Windows 8 and will be released on the Wii U later this year.

A World of Keflings is a “builder” game. You are a giant avatar that finds yourself in a world surrounded by tiny people called Keflings. You are tasked with helping them rebuild their home. You will have to assign jobs and roles to the various Keflings and create homes to attract more. There are 20 achievements to be earned, a leaderboard and if you log into Xbox Live, you can play as your Xbox avatar. If you have already completed the game on XBLA, you can still earn an additional 200 achievement points by playing the Windows 8 version.

From the press release:

“With the current generation of consoles coming to an end, we saw opportunities to bring what is perhaps our studio’s most well-loved game to many, many more players,” said Brent Fox, Art Director at NinjaBee. “With that said, we’re proud to announce that in addition to today’s release on Windows 8, A World of Keflings will be coming to the Wii U later this year.”

“Both of these new platforms offered us huge advantages and were ideal marketplaces for a light-hearted city-builder,” Fox said. “Windows 8 gave us the chance to make the game mobile and add in very smooth, natural touch controls. The Wii U has allowed us to significantly enhance the game’s visuals and, with the Wii U GamePad, explore new ways to interact with the game and its characters.”
