In yet another Gamescom press release, Ubisoft have announced a Tintin game to accompany the forthcoming film.

Coming as it does from Ubi, expect a proficient if sterile movie tie-in hamstrung by dogged adherence to the major plot events that take place throughtout its cinematic counterpart.

We hope there’s plenty of thinly veiled allegory criticising Belgian colonialist policy but doubt it’ll come to pass. After all, most people think that The Congo is where Um Bongo comes from rather than an unfortunate country left in the lurch by the resource stripping that took place in the first half of the last century.

An action adventure aping the Uncharted/Tomb Raider series is likely, no doubt interspersed with mechanics from other Ubi games.

The Adventures of Tintin: The Game is due in November, widely discounted in December. Ian
