Ubisoft quietly announced that they have penned a deal with Paramount to work on a game based on the upcoming Robert Zemeckis' Beowulf movie expected to hit this holiday.

The movie, and thus the game, will be based on the epic poem of the same name and stars Angelina Jole and Anthony Hopkins, both of whom have signed on to appear in the game as well. Better still, much better, is the fact that the adaptation of the adaptation will be developed by the same French team who worked on Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter.

Sounds like I'm going to have to dust of my Seamus Heaney copy of the book. I can't wait to play, not listen, to the lays of the victories of warriors. Brian Crecente
