Bourne Conspiracy Gets a Date

Seeing as how Matt Damon embodies the soul of Jason Bourne and how he isn’t in the upcoming game is disappointing. But those who are looking forward to The Bourne Conspiracy can finally mark their calendars for June 27, because that’s when the game comes out on PS3 and Xbox 360.

Developed through a close partnership with Robert Ludlum, the author of the franchise, as well as story and character development with Bourne screenwriter Tony Gilroy, the game delivers an original story uncovering Bourne’s past and the conspiracy shrouding his origins. Players will be able to use Bourne’s heightened instincts and characteristics to recognize threats, perform takedown moves and use the surroundings to overcome deadly situations.

“Wrought with action, combat, elaborate escape scenes and untold story, the Bourne series is making a natural progression into the interactive medium,” said Al Simone, senior vice president, global marketing, Sierra Entertainment. “We’re pleased to announce that this June gamers will have the chance to experience the dangerously exciting aura and frenetic pace inherent in the Bourne franchise.”

The game has been developed by High Moon Studios and is based around a combat system co-designed by Jeff Imada, the renowned choreographer who defined Bourne-style combat in the films. The game also features gunplay as well as arcade-style racing through the streets of Paris.
