This should make the Harry Potter game fan(s) on this site happy. UK dev. studio EA Bright Light is working on the next multiplaftorm video game in the fantasy themed series, which follows the story of a young wizard - a.k.a. Harry Potter. The game is coming out later this year, coinciding with the Warner Bros. Pictures' film based on J.K. Rowling's 6th Harry Potter book.
We've received a single snapshot from the game too.
Here's a bit more info about Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince:
"We believe that the Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince video game represents a milestone in the movie tie-in genre," said Harvey Elliott, Head of EA Bright Light studio in the UK where the Harry Potter franchise has its home. "Building on the technological advancements of previous games in the series and with a particular focus on the unique control system of Nintendo's WiiTM, the team here is working closely with the filmmakers to create an immersive interactive experience that captures the story, the action, the excitement and, above all, the fun of the film.
