Chair Snags Rights To Ender's Game

Mike Fahey — Tue, 29 Jan 2008 10:20:37 EST

Undertow developer Chair Entertainment has secured the rights to create video games based on Orson Scott Card's science fiction classic, Ender's Game. This really comes as no surprise, seeing as the Chair team of Donald and Geremy Mustard have already worked with Card on the script for unfortunate Xbox failure Advent Rising as well as the original sci-fi IP Empire, which is currently getting the movie treatment via producer Joel Silver.

"From the moment I started working with Donald Mustard and his team at Chair, I knew that these were the guys I wanted to do the first Ender's Game video game," said Card. "It's not enough to slap the Ender's Game name on just any game - it has to be exciting, memorable, and endlessly replayable. Chair shares my understanding of this and I am looking forward to working with them to ensure the game is as authentically Enderish as possible."
