Filed in archive Games on April 25, 2006

Activision's upcoming game X-Men: The Official Game will feature voice acting from member's of the film version's cast, including Hugh Jackman (Logan/Wolverine), Patrick Stewart (Professor Charles Xavier), Alan Cumming (Kurt Wagner/Nightcrawler) and Shawn Ashmore (Bobby Drake/Iceman).

"Having these actors renew their movie characters in X-Men: The Official Game immerses gamers in the X-Men movie universe," said Will Kassoy, vice president of global brand management, Activision Publishing. "Players will experience epic battles and uncover the events behind Nightcrawler's mysterious disappearance and the roles the X-Men and Brotherhood play in the upcoming film."

Co-written by Zak Penn, one of the film's screenwriters, and legendary comic book writer Chris Claremont, X-Men: The Official Game enables players to assume the roles of Wolverine, Nightcrawler, and Iceman as they wield and upgrade their signature powers and maneuver through unique environments designed to showcase their Super Hero abilities. Assisted by other Marvel X-Men mutants, players use an advanced control scheme to master and evolve the characters as they unleash Wolverine's combat rage, experience Nightcrawler's acrobatics and teleportation powers, and tear through the air on Iceman's ice slide.
