Santa Monica, CA - April 24, 2006 - Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart, Alan

Cumming and Shawn Ashmore will reprise their X-Men film roles and lend their

voices to Marvel's world famous mutants - Logan/Wolverine, Professor Charles

Xavier, Kurt Wagner/Nightcrawler and Bobby Drake/Iceman - in Activision

Inc.'s X-Men: The Official Game. The game catapults players into an

original storyline that serves as a prelude to Twentieth Century Fox and

Marvel Studio's upcoming film, 'X-Men: The Last Stand,' and allows them to

command the distinct powers of Wolverine, Nightcrawler and Iceman as they

face off against formidable enemies, battle through massive environments and

embark on an epic quest to save mutant-kind.

"Having these actors renew their movie characters in X-Men: The Official

Game immerses gamers in the X-Men movie universe," said Will Kassoy, vice

president of global brand management, Activision Publishing. "Players

will experience epic battles and uncover the events behind Nightcrawler's

mysterious disappearance and the roles the X-Men and Brotherhood play in the

upcoming film."

Co-written by Zak Penn, one of the film's screenwriters, and legendary comic

book writer Chris Claremont, X-Men: The Official Game enables players to

assume the roles of Wolverine, Nightcrawler, and Iceman as they wield and

upgrade their signature powers and maneuver through unique environments

designed to showcase their Super Hero abilities. Assisted by other Marvel

X-Men mutants, players use an advanced control scheme to master and evolve

the characters as they unleash Wolverine's combat rage, experience

Nightcrawler's acrobatics and teleportation powers, and tear through the air

on Iceman's ice slide.
