Forbidden love is about to go virtual. In November, fans of Stephanie Meyer’s ‘Twilight’ series will be able to indulge their paranormal passions in Habbo, a virtual world played by more than 12 million users worldwide.
As a result, a number of Hollywood properties have used Habbo as a doorway into the fickle world of teens, including ‘American Idol’, ‘Heroes’ and ‘Spiderwick Chronicles’. The latest to jump on the Habbo bandwagon is ‘Twilight’.
To kick off the Nov. 20 release of ‘New Moon’, Habbo’s developers will be opening up Twilight-themed rooms and hosting related online parties to stir up fan fervor in early November.
If you’ve read the books or watched the movie, you may be interested in knowing that among the virtual items for sale on Habbo are a water fountain, a clock tower, the Volturi Crest and Jacob’s barn door.
If you’re not a Twilight fan, it could just be a matter of time before you get bitten by the vampire epidemic that’s spreading faster than swine flu among the world’s women and teens.
