Posted on May 22, 2006

2K Games has released a video game based on the popular Da Vinci Code novel by Dan Brown and movie directed by Ron Howard. Buzz about the book has increased now the movie has become a worldwide blockbuster. 2K says the game includes codes, puzzles and mysteries just like in the book and film. Here are some of the features of the game from a recent news release:

The game expands upon The Da Vinci Code universe by giving the player new experiences and locations that were not visited in the film or the book.
Guide Robert Langdon and Sophie Neveu on their quest to solve a bizarre murder-mystery and uncover the ultimate treasure protected by an ancient secret society.
Hidden clues are set in real world locations such as The Louvre, Westminster Abbey, Saint-Sulpice and more.
Players must solve challenging physical and intellectual puzzles in order to uncover the resting ground of the Holy Grail.
Charles Cecil, designer of Broken Sword, aided in the game design.
Features a sound track from acclaimed composer Winifred Philips.

The book sold over 40 million copies and the film is already a monster hit so the game has the well-branded Da Vinci Code story going for it. Sony has already signed on to make a movie out of Dan Brown's Angels & Demons novel. This novel also stars Professor Robert Langdon and its packed full of puzzles, codes and conspiracy theories just like in The Da Vinci Code. If a film is made then it's highly likely that Angels & Demons will be made into a video game as well.
