Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment reports that the "Watchmen: The End is Nigh" videogame, based on the Vancouver-lensed "Watchmen" feature, will be offered in a retail Blu-Ray Hi-Def game and 'film hybrid', as well as additional retail/downloadable formats in North America, released in conjunction with the Blu-ray Hi-Def and DVD of the "Watchmen: Director’s Cut", July 2009.

Developed by Deadline Games A/S, "Watchmen: The End is Nigh" is a 'hardcore mature' action brawler featuring bloody visceral combat in settings reminiscent of the film, taking place more than a decade before the film’s main story, delving into the partnership of urban vigilantes 'Rorschach' and 'Nite Owl' before the masked hero-banning 'Keene Act'.

In Part 2, the duo team up again as Rorschach contacts Nite Owl to help solve the case of missing 'Violet Greene'.

Actors Patrick Wilson and Jackie Earle Haley, stars of the film, also lend their voices to Nite Owl and Rorschach in both episodes. Both Rorschach and Nite Owl are playable characters and each features distinct combat abilities, as well as a collection of each of their own unique finishing moves, including 'Rorschach’s Rage' and the technical prowess of Nite Owl’s 'Owlsuit'.

The game also features a split screen co-op multiplayer option in addition to a single-player experience with an 'A.I. partner'...
