by May 22, 2007 @ 2:33 pm
At its Ubidays press conference today, Ubisoft announced the development of Beowulf, a new movie-game adaptation heading to the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC.
Based on Robert Zemeckis’s upcoming film adaptation of the classic English poem, Beowulf will feature gameplay of the hack and slash vein. Details are scarce, but the game should closely follow the plot of the film and players will take control of the warrior Beowulf who must fight and defeat his arch nemesis Grendel.
Alain Corre of Ubisoft thinks the game will “re-invent the hack-and-slash genre.” There’s no doubt, if executed properly, this game could be a huge hit – Beowulf has the perfect setting for a hack and slash type game.
