Disney Interactive Media Group has announced that Brave: The Video Game will be coming to consoles this year, and is currently in development for the Playstation 3, Xbox 360, the Nintendo Wii, the Nintendo DS and the PC/Mac.
The video game takes inspiration directly from the film, and allows players to take on the role of Merida as she battles her way through the rugged landscape of Scotland. In the console versions, players will be able to play as a variety of characters from the film, as well. Additionally, players will be able to go on epic quests, solve puzzles and uncover secrets in their quest to save a kingdom.
Says Javier Ferreira, senior vice president of publishing, Disney Interactive Media Group:
We’re excited to offer a compelling game across multiple platforms for fans of the upcoming Disney•Pixar film ‘Brave’. Whether gamers want to play on their own or with others, they can relive highlights from Merida’s journey and go on new adventures inspired by the legends of Scotland and Disney•Pixar storytelling. With Kinect™ for Xbox 360 and Move on the PlayStation 3, gamers will feel like they are using a bow and arrow in an archery range and have a truly immersive experience.
Brave: The Video Game will launch Summer 2012 in conjunction with the film release.
