You may have seen the movie and read the book, but to really get into the shoes of Jason Bourne, you should play as him in a video game! So now, Sierra Entertainment has announced Robert Ludlum’s The Bourne Conspiracy, which is the first game from its exclusive global partnership with Ludlum Entertainment.
Just like the book and the movie, “Robert Ludlum’s The Bourne Conspiracy” game will have constant tension and action. The third-person espionage action game will see gamers engage in everything from fistfights to firefights. It will also effortlessly combine Bourne’s signature hand-to-hand combat with intense shooting and the skill to escape and dodge lethal situations.
Al Simone SVP, Global Marketing, Sierra Entertainment says, “Robert Ludlum’s best-selling spy novel and smash hit film adaptation have overwhelmed millions with riveting, memorable fiction. For the first time ever, players will be able to experience the shadowy world of expert assassin Bourne, who continues to find himself plagued by broken nightmares from his former life.”
Peter Della Penna, President, High Moon Studios remarked, “With Robert Ludlum’s The Bourne Conspiracy we are not just basing a game on Ludlum’s franchise, we are building upon the world he introduced with The Bourne Identity. High Moon has teamed up closely with Mr. Ludlum’s estate holders, the guardians of his creative vision, since the day we began to develop the game. The objective of that collaboration has been to create a videogame that takes inspiration from known elements within the Bourne universe, elements that have captivated more than a quarter of a billion people around the world, with original story and game play that establishes a signature Jason Bourne game experience. Robert Ludlum’s The Bourne Conspiracy is our installment to the series and is meant to exist in on its own within the Bourne entertainment library.”
Robert Ludlum’s The Bourne Conspiracy is being developed by High Moon Studios and will release for the PS3 and the Xbox 360 in Summer 2008. Publisher Sierra Entertainment has stated that they will release more details of the game at this year’s E3. The forthcoming issue of the Official Xbox Magazine will also have details about the game.
