Continuing the rash of licensed video games, today marks the announcement of The Tale of Desperaux, a game tie-in with an animated film of the same name to be released this December when the movie launches.

In development at Brash Entertainment, the game shares the fairy-tale look of the coming film about a chivalrous mouse. It will follow and extend the film’s storyline, offering skill upgrades and objects and more.

“Whether charmed by the book or newly introduced to the characters via the film, children of all ages can expand on their love for Despereaux with this title,” said Mitch Davis, co-founder, chairman and CEO of Brash Entertainment. “We’re excited and proud to be translating this classic into an exciting, engaging and enriching game. “

The Tale of Despereaux will be available for PC, PS2, Wii and Xbox 360 starting December 19.
