News: We got the first details right here, bub.

Activision has made official what they had only hinted at before and that is that they're developing a game based on next summer's X-Men Origins: Wolverine. The game will be released alongside the movie in May 2009 and will be coming to the DS, PC, PS2, PS3, PSP, Wii and Xbox 360.

Raven Software will be the main force behind the game's development and they are no stranger to the Marvel universe, having previously worked on X-Men Legends, X-Men Legends II amd Marvel: Ultimate Alliance. Amaze Entertainment will be developing the handheld versions (and possibly the PS2 and Wii versions as well).

X-Men Origins: Wolverine will follow the movie's plot as it tells the tale of Logan's origins, but it will also delve deeper into the story than that...

X-Men Origins: Wolverine is an epic action-adventure featuring a true-to-character Wolverine gameplay experience that takes gamers through and beyond the movie's storyline. Set in a variety of vivid real-world locales, the title challenges players to hone their animal instinct as they uncover hidden dangers, hunt and destroy enemies, and take on seemingly insurmountable situations while discovering the truth about Wolverine's tragic past. With razor-sharp adamantium claws unsheathed, the future X-Man enacts lightning-quick combat, evasive maneuvers, in-depth combo attacks, and an array of brutal finishing moves. Wolverine doesn't just deliver massive damage, either - he also takes it, thanks to his mutant regenerative power that heals him in real time right before the player's eyes.

We'll have more soon.
