The Da Vinci Code Coming to PC

2K Games announced an exclusive worldwide agreement with Sony Pictures to publish and distribute current generation console video games based on "The Da Vinci Code" film by Oscar winning director Ron Howard, which is inspired by Dan Brown's best-selling novel.

The games are being developed by The Collective, a division of Foundation 9 Entertainment and a top developer of action titles. Timed to coincide with the film release date, "The Da Vinci Code" games are expected to be available in May 2006.

"We are thrilled to work with Sony Pictures on one of its most anticipated film properties," said Christoph Hartmann, Managing Director at 2K Games. "The Da Vinci Code is exactly the type of high-calibre licensed property 2K Games looks for when developing movie-based games."

Charles Cecil, designer of the critically acclaimed title Broken Sword, has joined the development team at The Collective to aid in the game's design. Revolving around secret societies, ancient cover-ups and calculated vengeance, the gameplay in "The Da Vinci Code" will feature action-oriented suspense for seasoned gamers and "The Da Vinci Code" fans alike.
