The Indian epic Ramayana will form the basis of a new online video game for which global entertainment major Sony has teamed up with Richard Branson and new age guru Deepak Chopra.
In a world increasingly dominated by games influenced by western myths, Sony Online Entertainment's (SOE) multi-player game will be based on Ramayan 3392 AD -- a comic book from Branson and Chopra's Virgin Comics that re-imagines the epic in a futuristic realm.
Acclaimed filmmaker Shekhar Kapur, a co-founder of Virgin Comics, is also involved in the project.
"Ramayana has inspired the lives of millions of people through the ages. The re-imagining of this great ancient epic through the creativity of a game platform reaffirms the fact that Ramayana is one of the greatest stories ever told, Chopra said in a statement.
