Tim Schafer working on 'Sesame Street' game

Tim Schafer's Double Fine Productions is working on a new Sesame Street game for Kinect, it has been revealed.

Titled Sesame Street: Once Upon a Monster, the game will be published by Warner Bros Interactive and be released for the Xbox 360 this autumn.

The game sees parents and children jump, dance and fly as they explore a living storybook featuring characters such as Cookie Monster and Elmo.

Speaking about the latest project Tim Schafer said: "Sesame Street had a profound effect on me, and many members of the Double Fine team, when we were children. So did video games.

"Now many of us are parents and we want to share with our kids the great experiences we had, but also the completely new ones made possible by cutting-edge technology like Kinect for Xbox 360. So it's a labour of love on many levels."

Tim Schafer's latest game Stacking was released for Xbox Live and the PlayStation Network last week.
