WATCHMEN: THE END IS NIGH PARTS 1 AND 2

Watchmen: The End is Nigh Parts 1 And 2 is available today for the first time as a single game for both the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and the PLAYSTATION®3 entertainment system from Sony Computer Entertainment.

Watchmen: The End is Nigh Parts 1 And 2 is a hardcore mature action brawler, featuring brutal visceral combat in settings that capture the distinctive style of the Watchmen universe. Watchmen: The End is Nigh Part 1 takes place more than a decade before the film’s main story, delving into the partnership of urban vigilantes Rorschach and Nite Owl before the hero-banning Keene Act. In Part 2 the duo teams up again as Rorschach contacts Nite Owl to help solve the case of a missing girl, Violet Greene. Along the way he uncovers that a woman from their past is involved with the disappearance, leading to a conflict of interests between the two masked heroes.

Patrick Wilson and Jackie Earle Haley, stars of the Watchmen film, also lend their voices to the respective roles of Nite Owl and Rorschach in both episodes of Watchmen: The End is Nigh. 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 — such as Rorschach’s Rage and the technical prowess of Nite Owl’s Owlsuit.

The game features a split screen co-op multiplayer option in addition to a single-player experience with an A.I. partner. Staying true to the tone of the Watchmen world, Watchmen: The End is Nigh Parts 1 And 2 features stunning visuals in gritty settings. Players can battle as many as twenty enemies at the same time in bloody, intense street-fighting action. Watchmen: The End is Nigh Parts 1 and 2 feature nine chapters of gut-wrenching action, including locales from the film, allowing for hours of intense gameplay and a fully developed storyline.
