2kGames today announced that a game based on the upcoming movie, Da Vinci code, is in production. It will be interesting to see if the game can generate quite as much hype as the book/movie have. It's some sort of 'Action-Oriented Suspense' game, so who knows, that could mean anything.

Windsor, England – November 2nd, 2005 – 2K Games, a publishing label of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTWO), announced today an exclusive worldwide agreement with Sony Pictures Consumer Products to publish and distribute current generation console video games based on the highly-anticipated The Da Vinci Code film by OscarTM winning director Ron Howard, which is based on Dan Brown's best-selling novel. The games are being developed by The Collective, a division of Foundation 9 Entertainment and a top developer of action titles. Timed to coincide with the film release date, The Da Vinci Code games are expected to be available in May 2006.

"We are thrilled to work with Sony Pictures on one of its most anticipated film properties," said Christoph Hartmann, Managing Director at 2K Games. "The Da Vinci Code is exactly the type of high-calibre licensed property 2K Games looks for when developing movie-based games."

The Da Vinci code should be available for Game Cube, Playstation 2 and Xbox in May next year.
