Raiser Games and UPLAY Online have announced that PewDiePie will be headlining a cast of real-life YouTubers who will all appear in forthcoming content creator simulator Youtubers Life 2.

Taking on the role of guardians - or ‘Senpais’, as PewDiePie fans may be more accustomed to hearing - Kjellberg and a cast of 10 YouTubers in total will appear in the game in side-missions, offering players the opportunity to increase their knowledge and experience in specially set challenges.

Also joining the line-up will be Crainer, LaurenzSide, Rubius, Paluten, InoxTag, WillyRex, GermanLetsPlay, Vegetta777 and xFaRgAnx. Youtubers Life 2 will offer aspiring content creators the opportunity to live out their YouTube dreams in relative safety when it launches on PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch later this year.

According to Sergio de Benito, Marketing Director at Raiser Games, working with some of the world’s most popular YouTubers should give players an example of the responsibility that comes hand in hand with wielding considerable influence.

“Fame is a fickle beast and - like film stars, pop stars, and sports stars before them - YouTubers have spent the last decade finding out that, once you hit the big time, everything you do or say is under the microscope,” says de Benito. “We thought that having real life YouTubers in play was a must for Youtubers Life 2, because they are the only people on the planet who can, with some authenticity, pass on advice based on the highs and lows they’ve both enjoyed and endured whilst in the public eye. They really will be the players' guardian angels.”

All of the YouTubers will appear in dedicated, specialised side-missions, challenging players to carry out fun tasks increasing their knowledge and experience in the process. They will act as the icing on the Youtubers Life 2’s considerable cake, adding an extra slice of realism to proceedings.

“It’s been really interesting working with the Youtubers Life 2 developers to make sure my likeness comes across in play,” adds Crainer. “I hope my subscribers get a real kick out of seeing me in the game.”

In Youtubers Life 2 you will be able to: -

• Create content on different apps: NewTube, Glitch, and InstaLife.
• Explore NewTube City throughout three different neighborhoods: The City Hall, Downtown, and the Port. Each one has unique stores, leisure centers, activities, and other Youtubers (NPCs) with whom we can build a social relationship.
• Follow different trends triggered at different times, take pictures to Instalife, or record VOD and streamings on the way. The city is alive and will be a key to your development as a Youtuber.
• Record your progress on your Drone - your closest, customisable friend who will follow you on your adventures.
• New customisation options for your character and for your home. For the first time in the franchise, we will be able to customize our home and setup with our preferred style.

Youtubers Life 2 from Raiser Games and UPLAY Online will release later this year on Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
