Gate to Narnia Opens at Retail

Buena Vista Games announced today that The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe is now shipping across platforms. The game arrives in advance of the feature film of C.S. Lewis's classic, which is set to reach theaters December 9.

In Narnia, players take the role of Peter, Edmund, Susan and Lucy Pevensie, fighting White Witch's minions in team-based combat. Taking on a variety of creatures including Minoboars, Cyclopes, Werewolves and Ankleslicers, players must use each hero's unique combat skills, weaponry, and special moves -- all in a quest to restore Narnia.

"The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe video games beautifully translate the film into an epic interactive experience," said film director Andrew Adamson. "They demonstrate the importance of having a film team that is involved in the production of the video games inspired by that film. Players will truly feel as if they have walked through the wardrobe doors and into Narnia, where they can control the destiny of the characters."

The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe is now shipping for PlayStation 2, Xbox, GameCube, PC, Nintendo DS, and the Game Boy Advance.
