Camelot: The Game launches on Facebook

The TV costume drama Camelot, coproduced by Take 5 Productions, has not yet wrapped on Starz stateside and already has social game treatment on Facebook.

Starz Digital Media, the digital licensing arm of the US Starz channel airing the Canadian-Irish co-production, is rolling out a beta version of Camelot: The Game, on Facebook.

Gamers that go on Facebook and enter the password Merlin can play the immersive social game for free.

The Camelot game showcases battle/combat elements as players become lords of their own hamlet and go on quests that reflect in parts the TV series’ story lines.

Players can also build up their hamlet or equip their army as their soldiers make progress in battlefield movement and attacks.

Camelot: The Game, besides enabling Starz to additionally monetize its investment in the Canadian co-production, also comes as the US channel faces competition for eyeballs for medieval-set TV series as HBO airs Game of Thrones.
