Vivendi Universal announced today that the upcoming feature film, Eragon, based on the best-selling novel will get its own videogame. Like most games based on movies it will be available for just about every system with Stormfront doing development for console and PC and Amaze handling the handhelds.
Eragon was the first book by Christopher Paolini. It's a fantastical adventure about a fantastic boy and his magical dragon and their fantastic, magical destiny. "Christopher Paolini's amazing fantasy worlds, characters and adventures portrayed in Eragon offer fans of the genre an opportunity to step into Eragon's world and live out the dragon rider legacy," said Bruce Hack, CEO of VU Games.
On Sony's PSP it goes back to being an aerial combat game starring the titular dragon on his epic and fantastical adventure.
Movie-goers and gamers will get to nerd out with Eragon where ever they may roam when the film and games arrive December 12, 2006.
