Katy Perry, who recently split from husband Russell Brand, has been turned into a video game character.

The singer will be appearing in a new game,”The Sims 3 Showtime”, which is scheduled to be released in March.

Perry’s fans will be able to play as Katy and work for Perry-themed virtual goods such as clothing, hairstyles, furniture and props in the life-simulation game.

Katy said of her new endeavor, “I love how you’re able to play out different stories through your Sims characters – giving them different careers and watching them succeed. It’s cool to see the Sims’ stage performances in ‘The Sims 3 Showtime’ decked out just like my ‘California Dreams Tour’ – even my cotton candy video screens are in there! I always like to think of myself as a cartoon, and now I’m a Sim!”

Steve Schnur, the worldwide executive of Music for EA, stated, “Today marks the start of the most integrated and exciting collaboration with any artist in the history of The Sims.

“Katy Perry has been a fan of The Sims for several years, and her Simlish recording of her hit Hot and Cold featured in The Sims 2 series quickly became the most popular Simlish music video to date…No performer could better represent the humor and fun of The Sims brand.”
