D3 Publisher unveils Coraline for PS2

D3Publisher announced today that a videogame based on the new Coraline movie – the first-ever stop-motion animated feature to be made in 3-D – from Focus Features and LAIKA, will be released for Sony’s PlayStation 2 console.

The game will let players take on the role of the adventurous heroine Coraline and interact with the wondrous characters from the movie while navigating the scheming Other Mother’s web of deceit in a fantastical adventure through two distinct and interactive worlds.

“The Coraline movie is absolutely mesmerizing and we feel that the visual style and tone of the game will bring the amazing stop-motion animated film and thrilling storyline to life for players,” said Bill Anker, Vice President of Business Development, D3P.

“We’re confident that Coraline will offer a truly immersive and interactive gameplay experience that gamers as well as fans of the movie and best-selling book will enjoy.”

Coraline will allow players to explore and interact with a variety of immersive 3-D environments from the movie, such as the Pink Palace, its nooks and crannies and apartments, and the unpredictable Other World.  Players will engage in unique mini-games and adventures with Coraline’s friends Wybie and Cat as they collect items that will unlock the mysteries of the Other World.

Coraline is currently set for release in early 2009.
