Warner Announces Green Lantern: Rise Of The Manhunters

by Jeff Cork on Jul 23, 2010 at 03:30 AM

Warner Bros. Interactive today announced that a Green Lantern game is in development, based on the upcoming movie and set to release in the same summer 2011 timeframe. Green Lantern: Rise of the Manhunters is an action-adventure game being developed for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii, and Nintendo DS platforms by Double Helix (Silent Hill Homecoming, GI Joe: Rise of Cobra) and Griptonite Games (Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions [DS], Iron Man 2, Shrek Forever After).

“Green Lantern: Rise of the Manhunters gives players the chance to experience the world of the Green Lantern mythology in an interactive way, going beyond the events of the film and comic books,” said Samantha Ryan, senior vice president, production and development, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. “The game is the first to center around DC Comics’ Green Lantern franchise and we’re excited to give fans the opportunity to experience the power of the ring with engaging gameplay.”

Remember: They didn't think anyone could make a decent Batman game, either. We'll have to wait and see what Warner can do with this Green Lantern guy.
