Judging by the single screenshot in the article, this unfortunately
isn't a 3D first-person shooter style 'battle royale' game like
"Fortnite", but it LOOKS nice ... remains to be seen how it actually
plays though.

Get ready for a battle royale featuring Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck,
Wile E. Coyote, Yosemite Sam, Tweety Bird and other Looney Tunes

Mobile game "Looney Tunes: World of Mayhem," slated to be
released this fall, will bring together more 70 Looney Tunes
characters to wage prank-combat and cause other mischief. In the
role-playing game, users collect and battle with characters that
have ridiculous, unique abilities to fight against each other in
different game modes. Players also can build personalized "Toon
Towns" in the app.
The game is being published by Scopely under a pact with Warner
Bros. Interactive Entertainment, and it's developed in
partnership with Brazil's Aquiris Game Studio.
"The Looney Tunes are literally timeless, and the originators of
over-the-top, animated slapstick comedy," said Tim O'Brien,
Scopely's chief revenue officer. "'World of Mayhem' perfectly
integrates that trademark contemporary humor into a mobile
experience that gamers of all levels can pick up and play, while
offering the deep multiplayer RPG combat and builder gameplay
that will engage them for months and years."
Warner Bros. saw a "unique opportunity to work with Scopely to
offer a game that combines the [Looney Tunes] uniquely cartoonish
mayhem with the accessible yet deep, RPG-style gameplay that
today's adult gamer craves," commented David Haddad, president of
Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment.
"Looney Tunes: World of Mayhem" is available for pre-registration
on Google Play, and will be available as a free download on both
iOS and Android this fall.
L.A.-based Scopely is now valued at more than $700 million, after
it closed a $160 million Series C round. Investors include
Revolution Growth, Greycroft Partners, Evolution Media,
Greenspring Associates and Horizons Ventures.
The company, founded in 2011, has produced several top-grossing
games, including "The Walking Dead: Road to Survival," an RPG
based on AMC's hit TV show; "WWE: Champions," a puzzle-matching
role-playing game; "Wheel of Fortune Free Play"; and "Yahtzee!
With Buddies."
