Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince Announcement
Like you didn't know it was coming.
Published: April 23, 2008
Electronic Arts Casual Entertainment Label and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment have announced the annual release of the next Harry Potter game in the series, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, for just about every platform imaginable, including PlayStation Portable, PlayStation 2, and PlayStation 3. The game will release later this year to coincide with the release of the movie based on J.K. Rowling's sixth book in the series.
“Working with EA, we look forward to offering fans a compelling Harry Potter video game, one which captures the thrilling storyline and high visual quality of the movie,” said Scott Johnson, Vice President, Business Development for Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. “The adherence to the rich fiction is a trademark of this franchise and with Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince fans will experience the most authentic and enjoyable game in the series to date.”
In Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Dumbledore must prepare Harry for the final battle, as Voldemort ups his recruiting efforts. The two work together to unlock all of Voldemort's defense so that Harry can destroy the dark wizard once and for all. Players will return to Hogwarts for Harry's sixth year, engaging in wizard duels, mixing potions, and playing a bit of Quidditch on the side. All in a days work, it seems.
