This doesn’t affect the PC or handheld releases of the game, with all expected to ship in November 2005. SCEE will support the deal by offering PlayStation 2 bundles and extensive TV and marketing support.
“The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe has all the ingredients of a hit videogame franchise: great characters, vast environments and dynamic gameplay,” commented Sean Ratcliffe, European marketing director, Buena Vista Games. “Through this co-marketing opportunity, Narnia will become a major entertainment event in Europe and around the world. The game is perfect for the PS2 customer and we predict great sales success for the title.”
“We are looking forward to The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe on PlayStation 2. The time and effort BVG, Disney and Walden Media have made to develop CS Lewis’ classic adventure story for the game and movie worlds, will prove to be hugely popular for many PlayStation 2 owners. For this reason we are pleased to collaborate with BVG in bringing the game to them,” commented Simon Rutter, vice president of Product Marketing at Sony Computer Entertainment Europe.
The movie on which the game is based will be released on December 9th 2005.
