Yes! A 3D video-game is being created for Merlin’s Blade! Now, this is not a fighting type of game, but rather for exploration of the wider-map around the village of Bosventor, which should give you an awesome understanding of the novel.
Here are some screen-shots to wet your appetite!

will this game be free and win is the release date?
Yes it will be free, although I don’t have a firm release date yet. Hopefully I’ll have a limited version out by Thanksgiving, but we’ll see!
cool thanks.
it looks so cool!!!
cant what!
What exactly do you get to do in the game?
Brianna,
Very good question!
It is more of a “explore the map” game than a real video game per se but it should be lots of fun.
I’ve been greatly slowed down on finishing it, however, because my son got married and moved to another city to finish school. I might be able to finish it on my own, but will need to find the time.
Sorry about the delay! I’ll definitely make a big announcement when I make it available.

have you designed people that you may communicate with?
Or will you be able to communicate with other players?
Brianna,
For a phase 1, the game will be downloadable to your PC or Mac and will not have any way to communicate with other players. As well, there won’t be any “people” populating the game. You will explore the map and all the places in the book, but that is it.
My goal, however, is to have music and sound effects in place to give you an eerie, ghost-like effect as you enter and pass through places.
For instance, when you visit Tregeagle’s crennig, you just might hear Natalenya singing in the background and playing her harp!
It’s a lot of work to put even this much together, but it would be fun to have a phase 2 and enhance it to multi-player, for instance, and maybe even give you quests to accomplish.

This game looks similar to Mount & Blade. Would you be able to create your own character and features in the second phase in order to do multi? That would be super cool. I love the idea of seeing Merlin’s world in your perspective.
Sophie, that would be cool if I could make it like Mount & Blade, but alas, that is beyond my ability, and I just hope to find the time to finish the portion that I’ve begin and get it published here!
maybe you could try once your done
How is the game going?
Is this game out yet? it looks cool
Sorry to take so long to get back with you, Seth and Aimee! The game is currently stopped in development mode because my son (who was helping me) went to college, got married, and now has a son of his own … and thus is too busy to help. I am still hopeful that I’ll be able to finish it, though. Maybe next year I can make some progress on it after ARTHUR’S BLADE is out. No promises, but at least there is some hope! It would be so fun…
Is this game out already? Because I’m new here, and I don’t
know much. I’ve read all the books.
Unfortunately the game is on a very very long delay. My fault was expecting some people to help me with it that didn’t happen, and I got stuck. Still, I am hopeful to finish it at some point!
Grandpa Treskillard, I like it!!!
That’s okay.Thanks for the information.
Can you ride a horse?
Will you be able to talk to each other, and see other people
playing the game?
this feels like its taking forever, how much longer
