Kendall and Kylie Jenner are following the footsteps of their famous half-sister Kim Kardashian and coming out with a mobile app based game of their own. Glu Mobile Inc, the company behind the hugely successful “Kim Kardashian Hollywood” mobile game, announced on Tuesday that it has partnered with the Jenner sisters for a new game. The sisters already have their respective avatars on Kim's game “Kim Kardashian Hollywood,” which is expected to make her rich by U.S. $85 million in 2015.

An excited Kendall announced the news on her Instagram account on Tuesday night along with an animated picture of her and Kylie. Glu CEO Niccolo de Masi told Business Insider that the Jenner sisters have signed a five year contract with their company. Glu decided to make the game with the Jenner sisters seeing their tremendous popularity on social media.

"Kendall and Kylie Jenner bring a tremendous amount of brand power and social impact to an audience largely untapped by the gaming industry,” de Masi is quoted as saying to Business Insider. "We expect that their creative input along with Glu's expertise in the celebrity-based mobile gaming genre will produce an experience that resonates with Kendall's and Kylie's more than 72 million social followers around the world,” he added. Kendall has 21.3 million followers on Instagram while her younger sister Kylie enjoys sharing selfies with approximately 19 million followers.

By adding Kendall and Kylie to their kitty, Glu aims to reach a total on “300 million total social followers” by the end of 2015. The game will allow “players to interact with the sisters as friends and mentors” as they work towards their “creative and career aspirations,” said Glu. The company expects to launch the game worldwide by the end of this year on iOS and Android platforms.

Earlier this month, Kim introduced Kendall and Kylie's game avatars to her large number of followers on Instagram. The pictures showed 17-year-old Kylie with her blue hair and tiny shorts while Kendall is seen wearing a white halter neck top and black denims. The “Keeping Up With The Kardashians” stars stand next to their sister Kim who dons a black and golden dress.
