By LadyDragon
GUILDFORD, U.K.(LadyDragon.com)16/11/10--Today the EA Play Label of
Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: ERTS) and Warner Bros.
Interactive Entertainment announced that the Harry Potter
and the Deathly HallowsTM – Part 1 videogame is
available to buy on multiple platforms in stores
throughout the UK on November 19th.
The Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1
videogame is packed from start to finish with action.
Players will be on the run, fighting for survival on a
desperate and dangerous quest to locate and destroy
Voldemort’s Horcruxes, engaging with Death Eaters
and Snatchers in epic battle sequences at every turn. To
amplify the action, players will encounter ferocious
creatures, and will need to muster their most powerful
magic against relentless assaults from all sides. No more
lessons. No more training. It’s time for players to
fight for their lives.
“There’s no doubt that this is the most
exhilarating Harry Potter game we’ve made to date,”
says Jonathan Bunney, VP, Head of Production at EA Bright
LightTM. “The darker tone of the movies
and books, together with the rich action storyline of
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 1 and the
potential of HD gaming technology, has enabled the
development team to give the player more powerful magic,
more dangerous enemies and an overall more exciting
experience than ever before. It’s an entirely new
Harry Potter experience that we believe both fans of the
franchise and action games will love.”
Players will, for the first time, be able to use Harry’s
wand as the ultimate weapon, unleashing an arsenal of
formidable magic to defeat attackers, protect themselves
from harm and evade capture. Players will also find a
number of potions throughout the world - which can be
used in combat and for stealth. A dynamic cover mechanic
will enable the tactical player to utilize existing
objects as cover, or magically create their own, on the
fly. And Harry’s famed Invisibility Cloak will allow
players to sneak past more deadly enemies, or get to
various points unseen. The game also includes a series of
challenges, available from the main menu and separate
from the single player campaign, that offers both local
and online leaderboards to compare best scores and times
across the globe.
Developed by EA Bright Light Studio, the Harry Potter and
the Deathly Hallows - Part 1 videogame is now available
for the Xbox 360®, which offers an additional
KINECT mode where players can actually cast magic via
gestures, PlayStation®3, WiiTM,
Nintendo DSTM, Windows PC, and mobile devices.
About the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 1
film
Part 1 begins as Harry, Ron and Hermione set out on their
perilous mission to track down and destroy the secret to
Voldemort’s immortality and destruction—the
Horcruxes. On their own, without the guidance of their
professors or the protection of Professor Dumbledore, the
three friends must now rely on one another more than
ever. But there are Dark Forces in their midst that
threaten to tear them apart.
Meanwhile, the wizarding world has become a dangerous
place for all enemies of the Dark Lord. The long-feared
war has begun and Voldemort’s Death Eaters seize
control of the Ministry of Magic and even Hogwarts,
terrorizing and arresting anyone who might oppose them.
But the one prize they still seek is the one most
valuable to Voldemort: Harry Potter. The Chosen One has
become the hunted one as the Death Eaters search for
Harry with orders to bring him to Voldemort…alive.
Harry’s only hope is to find the Horcruxes before
Voldemort finds him. But as he searches for clues, he
uncovers an old and almost forgotten tale—the legend
of the Deathly Hallows. And if the legend turns out to be
true, it could give Voldemort the ultimate power he
seeks.
Little does Harry know that his future has already been
decided by his past when, on that fateful day, he became
“the Boy Who Lived.” No longer just a boy,
Harry Potter is drawing ever closer to the task for which
he has been preparing since the day he first stepped into
Hogwarts: the ultimate battle with Voldemort.
