The story of the boy genius, who has learnt to fight the aliens through simulated “war games”, will soon be told in a new manner.

Chiar Entertaiment, a game studio that created Undertow, has licensed the right to transform Orson Scott Cars’ SciFi work, “Ender’s Game”, into a videogame.

Ender’s Game, written by Orson Scott Card in 1985, was followed by “Speaker for the Dead”, “Xenocide”, “Children of the Mind”, “A War of Gifts”, “Ender in Exile: Gange”, all the books being focuses on the life an experiences of Ender Wiggin.

The first book takes place in 2135 and it describes the life of Ender, who is trained at  Battle School to lead the human armies against the Formics, an alien species who intends to invade the Earth.

Through simulated war games and training conducted in the Battle Room, Ender rise through the ranks of Battle School to become Earth's only hope for victory.

Chair Entertainment said that the game will be inspired by this “Battle Room”, so my guess is that we can expect a tactics and strategy game. And I am also willing to bet it will have a multiplayer component.  

"The really cool thing about 'Ender's Game' is that there's lots of potential for lots of types of gameplay. We wanted to initially create the Battle Room, that's really what jumped out to me as a gamer that I really wanted to play," said Chair's creative director Donald Mustard for Reuters.

Chair plans to release its new game for all the platforms. In fact, this is not the first collaboration between Orson Scott Card and Chair.

The two parties previously collaborated on the Chair Entertainment Group property Empire, which the Company introduced in 2006 with the launch of an Orson Scott Card-written bestselling novel of the same name. A feature film based on Empire is in development by Warner Brothers and Chair has future plans for video games and comic books based on the property.

"From the moment I started working with Donald Mustard and his team at Chair, I knew that these were the guys I wanted to do the first Ender's Game video game," said Orson Scott Card. "It's not enough to slap the Ender's Game name on just any game - it has to be exciting, memorable, and endlessly replayable. Chair shares my understanding of this and I am looking forward to working with them to ensure the game is as authentically Enderish as possible."
