Disney Interactive Studios announced today this the official The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian video game will include two unique film scenes that will not appear in theatres. Shot on the movie's set in Prague, Czech Republic, these unique scenes link together The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe and Prince Caspian with Dr. Cornelius (Vincent Grass) telling Prince Caspian (Ben Barnes) the story of Narnia's fall to the Telmarines.
The game development teams needed to work closely with the London-based film crew and the movie's director, Andrew Adamson, to assure the game's accuracy to the movie. The entire process of capturing the two exclusive scenes was a collaborative partnership between Disney Interactive Studios, Walt Disney Pictures and Walden Media. “The close partnerships we maintain with our film division and Walden Media allowed us to utilize the cast, crew and set to create two unique scenes exclusively for the video game,” said Ed Bainbridge, vice president of European production for Disney Interactive Studios.
The home console and and PC versions of the game, developed by Traveller's Tales, will take players throughout Narnia and even includes a level unique from both the novel and the movie. This action/adventure game offers a drop-in/drop-out two player two player mode, combat, exploration and puzzle solving. The game features over 20 playable characters, including Prince Caspian. The Nintendo DS version is an action-RPG, and will debut Disney Interactive Studios' new game community, DGamer. The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian is expected to release for consoles, including Wii, Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 ($49.99 USD and CAD) and Playstation 2 and PC ($29.99 USD and CAD) and is rated T for Teen. The Nintendo DS version will be available for $29.99 USD and CAD and is rated E10+ for Everyone 10 and up.
