The first video game tied to the best-selling apocalyptic "Left Behind" book series will be released in coming months, a spokesman for Left Behind Games said Wednesday.
The PC game is titled "Left Behind: Eternal Forces" and will be released between December and April. Retail pricing was not immediately available.
Authors Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins have written more than a dozen novels for the series, which is based on prophecies from the Bible's Book of Revelation.
The first video game title is set in New York and pits a small resistance force against the Antichrist, who has seized power at the United Nations with the goal of world domination.
The "Left Behind" book series has expanded to other entertainment realms, spawning a movie, music and graphical novels, as well as a downloadable computer trivia game and a board game.
U.S. video game sales were $7.3 billion in 2004. Sellers of Christian-themed titles are jumping into the market, hoping to tap the same audience that has made Christian Pop music a force in the entertainment industry.
