Ubisoft has just released the trailer you can see right below these words for the videogame version of the long and boring old poem, Beowulf.

Oh, hang on, Beowulf is not based on a long and boring and old poem after all, but on Paramount Pictures’ and Shangri-La Entertainment’s Beowulf, one of those blockbuster feature films from Academy Award-winning director, Robert Zemeckis.

Beowulfis apparently a legendary Norse warrior with the strength of thirty men, “an epic hero tormented by desire for power and glory. A slayer and a king – torn between the nobility and brutality within him.”

Aaah yes, we know that feeling of being tormented by desire for power and glory only too well.

Lead your thanes into battle, slay the Titans of a dying age, and crush the enemies that threaten to annihilate both your kingdom and your people. And then have a nice cup of tea.
