The Sorcerer's Apprentice Magically Appears on the DS

Disney Interactive Studios today announced the company will publish The Sorcerer's Apprentice video game, inspired by the upcoming feature film "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" from Walt Disney Pictures and Jerry Bruckheimer Films. The Sorcerer's Apprentice is scheduled to appear in North American retail outlets on July 13, 2010, exclusively for Nintendo DS.

The Sorcerer's Apprentice is an action-packed 3D arcade video game that casts players in the role of Dave, the powerful sorcerer's apprentice, as he joins a mystical fight against the ultimate evil in a world filled with fantastical quests and magical combat.

In the game, evil sorcerers have escaped from their centuries old prison, the Grimhold, and taken over New York City. The legendary master sorcerer Balthazar is trapped in the magical realm, so it's up to Dave to save New York. Guided by Balthazar, he travels throughout New York and the magical realm using special portals in order to defeat the enemy. Dave must master the elements of sorcery using magical attacks and spells to defeat the six evil sorcerers and their army of minions in order to free Manhattan.

"The Sorcerer's Apprentice video game expands on the film experience by allowing fans to wield magic spells with their own hands," said Craig Relyea, senior vice president of global marketing, Disney Interactive Studios. "The fast-paced action, magical spells and unique gameplay brings the adventure to life."

The Sorcerer's Apprentice video game will include competitive play with Pass the DS challenge modes for up to four players. The game will also include 30 achievements to unlock, as well as DGamer, Disney Interactive Studios' innovative technology that provides a fun, connected game community for Disney video game fans.
