Other Ocean Interactive has officially announced that its War of the Worlds game will be deploying death rays onto the Xbox LIVE Arcade next week Wednesday, 26 October.
Based loosely on H.G. Wells’ classic novel, the 2D side-scrolling platformer apparently introduces new characters, locations, and events to the story, as well as, you know, 2D side-scrolling platform action.
I don’t think that was in the book either.
“As a developer, we are extremely fortunate to have access to this beloved franchise,” said Other Ocean overlord Mike Mika.
“The team and I are huge fans of the original rotoscoped cinematic platformers of early PC gaming. This is a dream project for everyone on the team. Having the ability to approach the game in a completely retro way and pay homage to one of our favourite periods in gaming is more than we could ask for.”
Check out the game’s most recent trailer below. It’s narrated by Patrick Stewart. Everything should be narrated by Patrick Stewart.
