Early last year, author Orson Scott Card was in the spotlight regarding the possibility of turning the highly popular Ender's Game novel into a video game. But while Card was very much open to the prospect, nothing was confirmed at the moment, leaving the idea to float in silence (and among the sci-fi fan's wet dreams) for months.

That is, until we ran this press wire announcing a partnership between Card and Undertow developer Chair Entertainment Group to create games based on the book's famed Battle Room.

No details were announced, though Chair said that this year, they'll begin developing a Battle Room title that will be distributed via downloadable platforms. Ender's Game downloadable-loving courtesy of PSN and XBL? Why not?

Further along, Chair also made known its plans to expand to the Battle Room game to the next-gen platforms, handheld systems, and the PC. Chair Entertainment Creative Director had this to say regarding the partnership:

I have been a huge fan of Ender's Game since I was ten years old, so it is a true honor for our team to be entrusted with creating the first video game inspired by this classic story. Our goal is to create an authentic EnderÂ’s Game experience that delivers awesome gameplay and can be enjoyed by both longtime fans and gamers new to the series.

Orson Scott Card also appears to be excited regarding the Ender's Game video game prospect, and had this to say:

From the moment I started working with Donald Mustard and his team at Chair, I knew that these were the guys I wanted to do the first Ender's Game video game. It's not enough to slap the Ender's Game name on just any game--it has to be exciting, memorable, and endlessly replayable. Chair shares my understanding of this and I am looking forward to working with them to ensure the game is as authentically Enderish as possible.

And if we follow Card's lead, this may just be step one of the author's bigger prospects for the near future. We'll let you know if any related updates are announced.
