2008 Video Game The
Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor To Rise This
Summer Sierra
Entertainment
have announced the development of The Mummy: Tomb
of the Dragon Emperor, a video Game
based on one of Summer 2008's most highly
anticipated movies from Universal
Pictures. The game, which
will mirror the fast-paced action and adventure
depicted in the film, is being developed by Eurocom
Studios for the Wii home video game console and
PlayStation(R)2 computer entertainment system and
by A2M for Nintendo DS. The Mummy: Tomb
of the Dragon Emperor game was created through a
licensing agreement with Universal Pictures Digital
Platforms Group. "Sierra
Entertainment is pleased to partner with Universal
to deliver an exciting extension to this popular
film franchise," said Al Simone, senior vice
president, Global Marketing, Sierra Entertainment.
"Developed in collaboration with the film's
creative talent, The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon
Emperor video game will add another opportunity for
players to experience the thrill and excitement of
this adventure favorite." "The Mummy is one
of the most distinctive and expansive franchises in
Universal's portfolio, and there is inherent
gameplay in the property," said Bill Kispert, Vice
President and General Manager, Interactive,
Universal Pictures Digital Platforms Group. "The
new film amps up the action, introduces a ruthless
new villain and takes our heroes to incredible new
locations. We are thrilled to bring all these
attributes to life in this game." In the
third-person action-adventure game The Mummy: Tomb
of the Dragon Emperor, players will take on the
roles of Rick O'Connell and his son, Alex (played
by Brendan Fraser and Luke Ford, respectively, in
the film). Gamers will follow the lead characters
on their harrowing journey -- across exotic
locations from ancient Chinese catacombs to
beautiful, but dangerous, Himalayan peaks -- to
defeat the revived servants of the Dragon Emperor
(Jet Li). The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor
allows players to switch seamlessly between gunplay
and hand-to-hand melee attacks, and also features a
fast and fluid combat system and an arsenal of
weaponry that can be used to vanquish the many
bone-chilling enemies players will face during
their journey. Fans of the upcoming Universal
Pictures film, directed by Rob Cohen and set to hit
theatres this August 1st, will fight their way
through The Mummy universe by utilizing combat,
puzzle-solving and hieroglyphic decoding gameplay
elements. |
