LOS ANGELES, May 24 (UPI) -- Atari announced Monday it has signed best-selling author R.A. Salvatore to develop the storyline for a new video game, "Forgotten Realms: Demon Stone."

The action video game will also feature actors Patrick Stewart and Michael Clarke Duncan, who will lend their voices to two prominent roles.

"Demon Stone," which is scheduled for release in Fall 2004, is being developed by Stormfront Studios, creators of "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers," for the PlayStation 2 entertainment system.

"'Demon Stone' features a classic struggle between the forces of good and evil, and we needed two powerful voice talents to make that conflict real and bring it to life. Patrick Stewart's classic articulation and Michael Clarke Duncan's presence were absolutely perfect as the two opposing sides of that conflict," said John Hight, executive producer in Atari's Los Angeles studio.

"As a best-selling author of numerous Forgotten Realms novels, R.A. Salvatore is uniquely suited to take on this project and his mastery of storytelling will immerse players more deeply in our game."
