Eidos has divulged what their Highlander project is all about.  The game will be developed by Widescreen Games as for the PS3, 360 and PC game versions.

The actual story is a third-person action adventure that spans over 2000 years, giving you a chance to explore all the biggest facets of history that you didn't pay attention to in high school. You know. Feudalism, Serfdom, even some critical moments of history are revealed in this game---such as Hindenburg.

As Owen Macleod, the player will journey around the world and be able to battle many immortal foes through the use of a spectacular variety of weapons and natural abilities.

Not only is Widescreen Games promising a historic adventure filled with expansive environments, but also promising around 18 missions excluding additional areas to explore.

We here at PSU definitely think this title will be a hot seller, and will bring you more details as we learn them along the way.

    The series and the movie were both excellent. Now, if the game intro'd to "Princes of the Universe" by Queen, that would be the icing on the cake. Oh, and real gruesome blood for the beheadings.

    They'd better license music by Queen!  But this game has a ton of potential. Getting to fight through different centuries and having awesome swordfights with bosses would make this a 'must get' game.

    I doubt the whole sound track will be Queen but the Theme song has run through all the movies I believe as well as being an integral part of the tv series. I havent seen the anime movie yet but I bet it's in that too. If Widescreen has any sense or if they're fans of the franchaise even slightly, then they know they need at LEAST that song.
