Ubisoft has just sent out a press wire providing for plenty of new details for their upcoming game, Beowulf. The first info snippet that gamers may want to know is that aside from its initially announced PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC release, Beowulf is now expected to land on the PSP as well. Moving on to the rest of the new game details:

  • Beowulf concept art - Image 1 Delve even deeper into the adventure and play through 30 years of the Beowulf story not seen in the movie. Experience more of Beowulf’s life and mold your own legacy.
  • Unlock an army of up to 12 thanes as you increase your heroic experience (by saving thanes, killing giant monsters, etc.).
  • Carnal Power allows you to use stronger attacks and special weapons such as pillars.
  • Giver orders, assign your army’s position, and tailor weapons to the situation or enemy.
  • Use your army to trigger mechanisms (e.g., open doors) and row Drakar.
  • Carnal upgrades include less daze after use and prolonged use of carnal fury.
  • Combos, parries, and skills increase as you progress.
  • Grab allows you to hold on to walls or climb, as well as fight in hand-to-hand combat with enemies and giant monsters.
  • Use legacy experience points to gain thanes, replace weapons, and upgrade your carnal abilities.
Beowulf the game will be based on the the movie with the same title written by Roger Avary and award-winning author Neil Gaiman. Beowulf the game is expected to ship into retail this November 2007. That's all the details we've got for the moment, aside from a batch of screenshots and concept art. Happy viewing!

I wish this was independent of the movie... A Beowulf game sounds AWESOME, but movie games always suck...
