MUMBAI: Paramount Digital Entertainment and Ubisoft are developing a video game based on the upcoming film Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn, to be directed by Steven Spielberg.

The video game is expected to launch simultaneously with the film adaptation of the literary series. Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn will be released in the US on 23 December, 2011 and internationally in late October and early November 2011.
