Rorschach never had this in mind for his drawings I'm sure. Who watches the Watchmen? We do!
Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment will publish WATCHMEN, an
episodic downloadable game based on the upcoming Warner Bros. Pictures’
film for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from
Microsoft, PLAYSTATION3 computer entertainment system and Windows PC
in 2009.
The game captures the action and intrigue of the Watchmen feature film.
A complex, multi-layered mystery adventure, Watchmen will
take us to the brink of destruction. In alternate 1985 America – in
which costumed superheroes are not only real but have ultimately been
outlawed – one former hero goes looking for the truth behind the murder
of one of his own, but uncovers a devastating conspiracy to drag the
world implacably closer to its own end.
“We’re bringing the Watchmen universe
to gamers in a distinct episodic game revealing action and combat for a
great overall experience for fans,” said Samantha Ryan, Senior Vice
President, Production and Development, Warner Bros. Interactive
Entertainment. “The filmmakers have been extremely helpful in
developing the high-quality game story and we are working to match the
outstanding visual style of the film.”
The videogame based on WATCHMEN will
go beyond the film and delve into the characters, rivalries and
challenges in a mature action-brawler. The game provides gamers with
visceral superhero combat as urban vigilantes Rorschach and Nite Owl.
