This one may come as a shock to you, but video game publisher, Codemasters, has unveiled a game based on the Dirty Dancing (1987) movie, expected to be released this Holiday season. This news will cap off a year-long celebration by movie studio, Lionsgate, in honor of the Dirty Dancing’s 20th Anniversary.

Oddly enough, the game is being called an ‘action-puzzle’ title that allows players to experience the life of Baby (Jennifer Grey’s character from the film) as she learns to dance with the resident dancing couple, Johnny (the almighty Patrick Swayze) and Penny, and work alongside the team at the renowned Kellerman’s Mountain House Resort.

Commenting on the game, Anne Parducci, EVP Marketing at Lionsgate said, “Dirty Dancing delivers compelling subject matter that has all the tools to become an instant hit online. The movie appeals to audiences of all ages and continues to win over new fans through increased exposure from the highly successful DVDs and multiple airings on cable. For two decades, girls and women have identified with Baby, and through this wonderful game from Codemasters, they will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in her world like never before.”
