'Planet Michael' is an [online multi-player game](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/horizon-steel-frontiers) dedicated to everything under the Michael Jackson mega-brand. With a similar set up to the 'World of Warcraft' game, creators of 'Planet Michael' anticipate the same success for this feature.

The game will have areas dedicated to Michael's [greatest hits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heardlepedia), such as 'Thriller.' Players can interact on 'Planet Michael,' and are given tasks to dance through. Though this is one of many [Michael Jackson-themed video games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/daft-punk-1) since the singer's death, it has been dubbed "the ultimate MJ game" of the bunch.
