Based on the movie by groundbreaking director Robert Zemeckis (which also features the writing talents of Neil Gaiman and Roger Avary), Beowulf offers a vision of the legendary saga that has never been told before. In a time of heroes, the mighty warrior Beowulf slays the demon Grendel and incurs the wrath of its monstrous, yet seductive, mother in a conflict that transforms a king into a legend.
The legendary epic of Beowulf has fascinated readers for over 1,000 years, but you don't have to be a literature major to enjoy the Dark Ages death and destruction of Ubisoft's third-person adventure game, Beowulf. Using the CGI imagery and voice talents from the 2007 movie, "Beowulf" vividly recreates the 6th century world of the pre-Viking Scandanavians with accurate equipment and tactics. The same engine that drives "Ghost Warrior Advanced Warfighter 1 & 2" enables the game to support real-time lighting and shadowing as well as advanced weather effects.
True to their historical counterparts, the weapons in "Beowulf" run the risk of breakage during heavy use, forcing the player to grab an enemy's weapon or kill them with his bare hands. But, Beowulf does not fight alone. Gather an army of a dozen Norse warriors and order them to guard your back or join you in attacking a foe using squad-based tactics. Successfully commanding your thanes is as important as delivering the fatal stroke in ensuring victory.
Defend your people from rampaging trolls, rival thanes and cult-worshiping barbarians in addition to contending with Grendel and his mother. Enter a berzerker rage that causes massive damage – at great risk to your own thanes - or kill your foes in heroic fashion to heal and improve your men. Successfully dodge an enemy's strike and bring him down with a cinematic power attack. How you defeat your adversaries decides your legacy. Are you hero enough?

The Beowulf video game takes players deep into groundbreaking director Robert Zemeckis’ vision of the classic saga, Beowulf. Gamers live the life of Beowulf, the legendary Norse warrior with the strength of 30 men who is torn between the nobility and brutality within him. Arrogant, self-serving and lustful for gold and glory, Beowulf will journey to Denmark to destroy a bloodthirsty beast wreaking havoc on a frigid land. But evil persists, and Beowulf succumbs to its lure of even greater fame, quietly maneuvering to claim the Danish throne.
As King, Beowulf must face the consequences of ambition, even as war descends on the realm. As Beowulf, players lead their men, called thanes, into battle, slay the Titans of a dying age and crush the enemies that threaten to annihilate both their kingdom and people. Only then, when Beowulf looks Destiny in the eye, will he know what kind of hero he has truly become.
