The upcoming video game will feature the voices of both Dakota Blue Richards and Fredie Highmore. About her role in voicing the videogame, Dakota commented, “I do find it quite difficult but I find it also fun, in the same way that I found doing the green screen stuff fun [on the film set].” Highmore on Pantalaimon: “To convey the essence of a character you’ve got to believe in it and I think you have to get in to the character, because if you don’t believe in it no one else will.”

The game will see Lyra travelling through the frozen wastes of the North collecting items in order to explore, evade, and deceive her way to rescue a friend kidnapped by a mysterious organisation. Lyra can also use Pantalaimon to collaborate with in-game characters and get through difficult situations.Gamers can also play as Iorek Byrnison, who joins the quest and protects Lyra during their journey using his special attacks to fend off enemies. Players will also be able to unlock secrets and mini-games using the Alethiometer.

The Golden Compass videogame is releasing on PS3, X360, Wii, PS2, PSP, DS & PSP later this year.
