Tron game trailer

With rare exceptions, videogames based on movie properties tend to be weak or downright tragic. But not many movies are as perfectly suited for the transition as TRON.

Whe the movie’s sequel TRON: LEGACY arrives a year from now, it will come with an appropriate game tie-in called TRON: EVOLUTION. 

What they say: Set during the era between the two TRON films, TRON: EVOLUTION conveys the story of significant events within the TRON mythology. The game features an epic adventure across a massive digital world filled with high-mobility disc-based combat and advanced light cycles.

TRON: EVOLUTION is one of the keys to unlocking the TRON mythology. The game’s story takes place before the “TRON: LEGACY” events and provides insight into the film’s past. As an integrated entertainment experience, the film will reference elements of the game’s story. Fans will want to play the game to learn more about the TRON mythology seen in the film, but each entertainment experience will stand on its own.

The game (from Turok developers Propaganda) will also feature Olivia Wilde as her TRON: LEGACY character Quarra. LEGACY director Joe Kosinski is consulting on the game (Kosinski has directed a number of game commercials, including Gears of War and Halo 3). Check the teaser below.
