Warner Bros. Interactive, Equity Games, and Halcyon Games announced via a press released this morning that they are currently at work on a videogame tie-in for the movie Terminator Salvation. The movie stars Christan Bale as John Connor along with Moon Bloodgood, Bryce Dallas Howard and rap artist Common (Smokin’ Aces) and is set to be released in May 2009 with the game to be released in conjunction with the launch.
Terminator Salvation: The Videogame will give players the chance to assume the role of John Connor as he battles for survival against the far superior forces of Skynet. This third-person action game developed by GRIN Studios, the creators of Bionic Commando, focuses on concentrated armed combat against all of the Skynet enemies from the film while encountering new enemies specifically designed for the game and “an incredibly fluid and realistic control set”.
While no specific consoles were mentioned, the press release did indicate that it will be made available for all “next-gen consoles” which we can only assume means it will be released for the PC, PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii. Gaming Today will be sure to let you know when we find out more.
Now–let us all cross our fingers that both the movie and the videogame will be well worth our time. I did not say to hold your breath, just cross your fingers.
