Sega of America and Michael Crichton, author of Jurassic Park and the upcoming book titled "Prey", announced early this morning that the two have teamed up to develop an all-new videogame based on an original concept from the author. Details on the upcoming game have yet-to-be disclosed but it was said the game is set for release during 2004.
"Unlike traditional licensing agreements in which pre-existing properties are developed into video games, SEGA"s partnership with Michael Crichton is a unique alliance bringing together brilliant talent from two different entertainment media to create a game concept from scratch," said Peter Moore, president and COO, SEGA of America, Inc. "Michael Crichton is a creative mastermind, recognized across all traditional entertainment media including print, film and TV. We are thrilled that Mr. Crichton has chosen to leverage his talents in the interactive entertainment industry with SEGA."
