Fox and Interactive Studios team up to produce futuristic third-person action-adventure game based on the forthcoming animated sci-fi movie

Fox Interactive today announced plans to develop a game based on Titan AE, the upcoming animated science fiction film featuring the voices of Matt Damon and Drew Barrymore.

Put together by UK developers Interactive Studios, Titan AE the game will offer two different modes of play - third-person action/adventure and flying. Players will be able to choose to play one of two main characters, Cole or Akima, as they solve puzzles, pilot ships and generally try to avoid capture while they seek to escape the menace of the evil Drej aliens. Similar to the film, the goal of the game is to find the lost spaceship, Titan, and save the human race.

A Fox spokesman said, "Titan AE is a perfect example of taking state-of-the-art filmed animation and blending it with high resolution computer graphics to create an interactive experience that will not only mirror, but continue, the theatrical experience.

The game is due for release in the US this autumn, and should reach these shores around Christmas.
