'Watchmen' Game Coming to iPhone and iPod Touch

by Evan Shamoon on March 2, 2009 at 07:03 PM



Unless you've been living under a rock (or perhaps in Iraq), you've been hearing about the release of a little low-budget indie art film called 'Watchmen.' Based on the twelve-issue comic book by renowned comic writer Alan Moore -- and now available in all-in-one form as a graphic novel - 'Watchmen' is one of the most beloved franchises in all of comic-dom. And today, Warner Brothers announced that it will be publishing -- in addition to 'Watchmen: End is Nigh' for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 -- an online, multiplayer game for iPhone called 'Watchmen: Justice Is Coming.'

Described as a "multiplayer online adventure fighting game," 'Justice' lets you and thousands of other characters play at the same time in one virtual world, whose missions, areas and secrets are constantly being updated by the developers. While it's not quite as advanced as something like 'World of Warcraft' (the most popular, massively-multiplayer game ever), users can chat with and battle other characters as they move through the adventure. Players can even customize their avatars' looks and skills before hitting the mean streets of Manhattan.

'Justice' will be coming to the iPhone and iPod touch in the next couple of weeks. For more on the game, check out G4TV's video preview and interview with the developers. [From: G4TV]
