EA Secures Rights to Ludlum’s Bourne Property
EA announced today that it has secured the rights from Ludlum Entertainment to produce videogames based on author Robert Ludlum’s critically-acclaimed Jason Bourne series of novels. The first game is in development at Starbreeze Studios (The Darkness, The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay) in Sweden.
“Robert Ludlum’s Jason Bourne is the most exciting action hero to emerge in decades, thrilling audiences around the world,” said Mike Quigley of EA Games. “EA is excited to enter into a long-term relationship with Ludlum Entertainment, bringing the action, intrigue and intensity of Robert Ludlum’s fiction to life for casual and core gamers around the globe.”
Vivendi released the first Bourne-inspired game last summer to mixed reception.
