Sierra Entertainment and 20th Century Fox have announced that the upcoming Eragon videogame will feature actors from the film reprising their roles, including the voice and likenesses of Edward Speleers, Sienna Guillory, Garrett Hedlund and Robert Carlyle.

This star-studded cast will be headlined by newcomer Edward Speleers who will voice the central character Eragon - a young farm boy who discovers that he is destined for greatness as a dragon rider. Sienna Guillory (Resident Evil: Apocalypse) will voice Arya, an elf who is saved by Eragon from King Galbatorix. Garrett Hedlund (Friday Night Lights, Troy, Four Brothers) voices Murtagh, a mysterious figure who becomes Eragon’s unlikely ally. Robert Carlyle (Trainspotting, The Full Monty) will also voice Durza, a powerful shade who controls the Urgal army.

In the videogame, players will live the legend as Eragon, and with Eragon’s mighty dragon Saphira ride into epic battle against an evil king’s sinister forces. Gamers will be able to realise the ancient destiny of the Dragon Riders and save the land of Alagaësia from falling further into darkness. Eragon will overpower foes with a deep combat system, utilising devastating magic attacks, and join forces with Brom or Murtagh at any point in the game’s drop in/drop out co-op mode.

Eragon will be released for the Xbox 360, Xbox, PS2, PSP, DS, PC and GBA on November 24.

VU Games has announced Eragon, an upcoming fantasy-adventure game tie-in with the movie of the same name. Scheduled for release this November for the PC, PS2, Xbox, GBA, DS, PSP and Xbox 360, Eragon is inspired by Christopher Paolini’s best-selling fantasy novel. The movie is expected to hit theatres on December 12.

Based on the best-selling novel, this epic fantasy-adventure centers on a young farm boy named Eragon whose destiny is revealed with the help of a dragon. Eragon, now a Dragon Rider, is swept into a world of magic and power, discovering that he alone has the power to save - or destroy - an Empire.

The game will let players engage in a combo and magic-based combat system, including finishing moves, multiple grapples and degradable blocks with counter attacks. Players will also be able to take part in flight-based combat and summon dragons; the game will also feature two player co-op featuring team attack bonuses and dragon fight/flight combo gameplay.

E3 will be host to the game’s public unveiling, with Fox and VUG premiering video footage and first look at the gameplay.
