Buena Vista Games have announced some new details about its upcoming action-adventure title, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe. Due for release on the PlayStation 2, PSP, Xbox, GameCube, Game Boy Advance, DS and also the PC. Inspired by the upcoming motion picture from Walt Disney Pictures, the games will launch this Holiday season, in conjunction with film's release. The film is a pectacular live action & CGI motion picture adaptation of C.S. Lewis' beloved literary classic.
"We have enlisted some of the top creative talent in the games industry to work on The Chronicles of Narnia video games," said Graham Hopper, senior vice president and general manager of Buena Vista Games. "Building on the fantastical worlds and amazing creatures portrayed in the film, the teams are developing an action/adventure epic video game where players will be captivated by remarkable characters, heart pumping combat and rich environments that could only exist in the land of Narnia."
In the game, players enter the world of Narnia, a land frozen in a 100 year winter by the evil powers of the malevolent White Witch. In order to end this frigid captivity and free his people, the mighty lion Aslan invokes an ancient prophecy. It will become the destiny of four siblings from our world: Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy Pevensie to work together and use their unique combat skills, weaponry and abilities to defeat the Witch and her armies to save Narnia. These four heroes must battle the evil forces of the White Witch by waging war against a vast variety of creatures, including, Minotaurs, Minoboars, Cyclops, Werewolves, Wraiths, Ankleslicers, Wolves, Boggles and more.
These ferocious creatures are modeled in the game after the characters being created for the motion picture, by the digital and visual effects geniuses at New Zealand-based Weta Workshop, whose credits include 'Lord of the Rings: Return of the King,' 'Van Helsing,' and 'I, Robot.' Additional game features include intricate puzzle solving, two-player action featuring all four characters, and seamless game play integration with real film footage.
More on Narnia - as we get it.
