Codemasters and The Templar Company PLC, the father company of UK-based Templar Publishing, today proclaimed a worldwide licensing agreement that will see the creation of a series of original video game titles based on Templar’s 14-million-selling ‘Ology series of books. The contract will see the best selling books Dragonology, Wizardology and Pirateology, all published in the U.S. by Candlewick Press exclusively for the Wii and Nintendo DS. Codemasters will publish two editions of each title, one for Wii with play centered on action gaming, and another for the Nintendo DS which will embrace explorative gameplay in the form of an interactive book. Dragonology will be the first title in the series and is expected to launch in the second half of 2008.

Dragonology: the Complete book of Dragons, by Dugald A. Steer, was first published in 2003, creating a series which has sold over 5.7 million copies worldwide in 32 different languages. Dragonology, Wizardology and Pirateology have all been New York Times bestsellers and the ‘Ology series was recently noted in the Wall Street Journal as, ‘a major publishing phenomenon’.
