The Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy has been an audio play, a series of books, a TV show, a computer game, a movie, and will now be able to add iOS title to that list. Coming this fall, href="http://www.thenewhitchhikersguide.com/">H2G2 (as it’s affectionately known) will be coming to the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch.
We’re still not entirely sure what the app is — if it’s the original text adventure game, or the novel, or what, but it looks like it’s an actual attempt to be the guide itself. That’s right, an actual guide to the galaxy — well, the wonderfully weird galaxy of Douglas Adams.
We’ll see if the app maintains the humor and wit of the original when it debuts.

Hothead Games today announced that an interactive edition of the beloved The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy will be released this fall for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.
The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy app is an authentic experience, allowing fans to feel like they’re holding the device that Douglas Adams described over thirty years ago. Users can learn all about the importance of towels, vogons, Milliways, the Babel Fish, a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster, how to survive in space, and more, all in this friendly app.
“We really focused on taking existing Guide entries and presenting them in a new, interactive way,” commented Joel DeYoung, Hothead Producer. “We have so much respect for the original that we had to stay true to the style of Douglas Adams, and deliver an app that feels familiar to fans, but updated for today’s devices.”
