Watchmen: Justice is Coming on iPhone
Warner Bros. Digital Distribution has announced the availability of Last
Legion Games’ ‘Watchmen: Justice is Coming’ online multiplayer game for
the iPhone and iPod touch. For a limited time, it’s being offered at a
price of $0.99 on the Apple App Store. The game is based on the film
Watchmen, from Warner Bros. Pictures and Paramount Pictures, in
association with Legendary Pictures.
According to Warner Bros., it uses “cloudMMO,” Last Legion's patent
pending cloud based multiplayer technology that leverages Amazon.com Web
Services allowing players to adventure through the world of Watchmen.
Players can chat with other players and participate in street battles.
Also,
players bring their own form of justice to New York City in the 1970s
before the film’s central story unfolds. Players create their personal
avatar and enter the rain-soaked city of Manhattan. The dark
metropolitan world is a vast network of interlocking and overlapping
spaces that include: the seedy and saturated neon Red Light District; a
run down Financial District and its dark waterfront; the downtown
back-alleys of Lower Manhattan; a wide open City Park; and more.
An
original story inspired by director Zack Snyder’s big screen version of
Watchmen, which is based on the graphic novel illustrated and co-created
by Dave Gibbons, Watchmen: Justice is Coming leads players on an
immersive adventure inside the depths of the Watchmen universe. Average
citizens evolve into fully equipped costumed avengers by completing
unique challenges, exploring the universe and battling enemies.
Opening
in the U.S. on March 6, 2009, Watchmen is a complex, multi-layered
mystery adventure, set in an alternate 1985 America in which costumed
superheroes are part of the fabric of everyday society, and the Doomsday
Clock—which charts the USA’s tension with the Soviet Union—moves closer
to midnight.
When
one of his former colleagues is murdered, the outlawed but no less
determined masked vigilante Rorschach uncovers a wide-ranging and
disturbing conspiracy with catastrophic consequences for the future.
Watchmen is directed by Zack Snyder and produced by Lawrence Gordon,
Lloyd Levin and Deborah Snyder. The screenplay is by David Hayter and
Alex Tse, based upon the award-winning graphic novel co-created and
illustrated by Dave Gibbons and published by DC Comics.
