MUMBAI: Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) has tied up with the Shah Rukh Khan film RA.ONE to create a PlayStation game on the film.

The video game version of the film named 'RA.ONE - The Game' has been developed exclusively on key PlayStation platforms of PS2 and PS3 (through PSN download) while the storyline has been developed by Shah Rukh Khan, who has seen to it that that there is an intrinsic connection between the game and the film.

The game, being developed under the active supervision of the game development team of SCEE based out of London, will almost act as a prequel to the film to introduce the key film characters and the various super-powers the film has.

It will provide an opportunity to players to play as the key characters of the film: Ra.One or G.One. Beyond these two characters, a few other key characters will also be included in the game. The film characters have been replicated closely for looks and animation and use the actual voice-overs of Shah Rukh Khan.

Displaying six unique characters and more than 20 game play
environments from the 'RA.ONE Universe', the game entails multi-player action levels, including a robust set of assorted game mode options; it allows gamers to participate in infinite numbers of challenging matches.

Said PlayStation Country Manager Atindriya Bose, "We have always wanted to bring Bollywood IPs on the PlayStation platform as the way of connecting to Indian audience. RA.ONE has the right mix of action, environment and imagination that is required to make a good PlayStation game and with Shah Rukh Khan's immense passion and understanding of PlayStation games, we have chanced upon a very unique opportunity of a great game with Indian IP."

'RA.ONE - The Game' will be rolled out in the India market and other key markets towards the end of September in close co-ordination with the actual film launch date.
