Monday, May 10, 2004 - Konami and Buena Vista Interactive today announced plans to publish video games based on the summer's movie "King Arthur". The game, developed by Krome Studios PTY, will feature videos from the movie and feature likenesses of characters from the film. The game is being developed for the PlayStation 2, the Xbox, and Nintendo GameCube, and should be released in Autumn 2004.

Players will be able to play as the heroes of the movie, including Arthur, Lancelot, Gunievere, Tristren, or Bors. Each character will have unique skills. The game will offer single player and two player cooperative modes, combat on horseback, and multiple mission types with diverse goals.

"Having seen early footage of the film, it's clear this is going to be an adventure that will translate well into an excellent action video game," said Geoff Mulligan, Chief Operating Officer, Konami Digital Entertainment - America. "With the game shipping in the fall, we will offer gamers and movie fans an exciting way to take their experience with King Arthur beyond the silver screen."

"The King Arthur video game is inspired by the epic true story that gave rise to the King Arthur legend," said Graham Hopper, senior vice president and general manager of Buena Vista Games. "By working with the talented team at Krome and Konami, the real story of King Arthur will be played out with intense battles, innovative combat and realistic environments."
