Vancouver-based Propaganda Games is developing Tron: Evolution, a video game that will be released late in 2010 ahead of the Tron: Legacy film.

The game is set between the events of the original 1982 film and Tron: Legacy, and will provide a bridge between the two movies. It’s being made for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Windows PC.

A press release issued today (December 14) states that “the game features an epic adventure across a massive digital world filled with high-mobility disc-based combat and advanced light cycles....As an integrated entertainment experience, the film will reference elements of the game’s story.”

Tron: Legacy has been shot in Vancouver and stars Sam Flynn, Michael Sheen, and Olivia Wilde. Jeff Bridges and Bruce Boxleitner reprise the roles they played in the original film.

Wilde will also star in Tron: Evolution, providing the voice and likeness of Quorra and offering “players with another direct link to the film as they discover how earlier events within the world of TRON shape her character’s future.”
