According to PC World, popular science fiction novel Ender’s Game will soon become a videogame. Chair Entertainment (creators of Undertow) have teamed up with Orson Scott Card (Ender’s Game author) and will launch the game across all next gen platforms, along with handhelds and the PC. According to the company’s press release, development will begin later this year, and gamers will get their first taste by way of the downloadable platforms.
