D3Publisher revealed yesterday that it will be incorporating voice talents of Dakota Fanning, Keith David, and Robert Bailey Jr. to its new Coraline videogame. The announcement makes public that the videogame will include voiceovers of all three actors, quite similar to their onscreen voice roles of Coraline Jones (Fanning), Cat (David) and Wybie Lovat (Bailey Jr.).
The Coraline video game is based on Laika’s exciting new movie, which is actually the first stop-motion animated feature boasting of 3D graphics. It will allow players to don the mask of adventurous heroine Coraline to journey through many adventurous locations. While voyaging through the plot-filled Other Mother’s web of deceit, gamers will also get to interact with many other wondrous characters. Sporting two unique and interactive worlds, the Coraline videogame will put gamers in an immersive 3-D environment identical to the movie. Exploring and interacting with characters, gamers will find themselves in beautiful locations like Pink Palace with its nooks, crannies and apartments. There is also an unpredictable Other World.
The Coraline game will give players all this and more as they get involved in distinct mini-games and adventures with some of Coraline’s trustworthy friends, Wybie and Cat. The trio get together to garner items which will help them unlock the mysteries of the Other World. The Coraline videogame will be available in North America for the Wii, Nintendo DS and the PS2 on January 27, 2009. As for the movie, it will be releasing in both 3-D and non-3-D theaters on February 6, 2009 through Focus Features.
