A report says a new videogame based on Robert Jordan's massive Wheel of Time series of books is now in development at a newly established game division of Iwot Studios, one of the production companies responsible for the Wheel of Time TV series on Amazon.
The new game, described as a triple-A open-world RPG, will be headed up by former Warner Bros Games vice president Craig Alexander, whose previous credits include The Lord of the Rings Online, Dungeons and Dragons Online, and Batman: Arkham Underworld. Iwot, which acquired [[link]] the rights to the Wheel of Time property (as Red Eagle Entertainment) in 2004, said the game will be part of its "multi-platform strategy to expand The Wheel of Time across film, television, and gaming."
"It’s an open-world game, and it’ll be everything with the Wheel of Time," Iwot Studios CEO Rick Selvage said. "Everything that is covered in the books, as well as all the backstory elements of it.
"As we build out the world, it’ll be the entire Wheel of Time world, it’s not going to be limited to [[link]] one area or another or a particular age. Of course, we’ll have opportunity on films, since we’re doing Age of Legends, we’ll have a lot of assets from that and marketing opportunities and [[link]] fan integration and a lot of other things. But it will cover the entire world."
