Glu is on the licensing rage. We’ve already seen them securing rights for a bunch of brands and now they announced that the agreement has been reached with Fox Mobile Entertainment for The Family Guy.

Yap, that means that America’s second funniest family (after the Simpsons) will be mobilized in the near future. Exact release date is not known at this stage. All we have are Glu’s Jill Braff words that they’re delighted to bring the humor and characters of Family Guy to the mobile arena. “Family Guy is among the most popular animated comedies on television today and we look forward to translating the show’s hilarity and excitement within a fun, interactive, and engaging mobile experience,” he added.

The other side, Fox Mobile Entertainment, is also pleased with the deal. The company’s senior VP, Andrew Stalbow, commented: “Glu’s extensive experience developing successful licensed titles for the mobile platform makes them the ideal partner to bring the engaging and humorous characters of Family Guy to mobile consumers. We are excited to once again partner with Glu to deliver an authentic experience and a new way for our audience to interact with the Griffin family.”

We at IntoMobile added: “Enough talk, show us what you got Glu!” ;)
