Releasing in North America on October 8, 2013, BEYOND: Two Souls takes players across the globe on a journey that explores 15 years of Jodie Holmes' (Page) life. In this original crossover hit, main character Jodie, aided by scientist Nathan Dawkins (Dafoe) discovers a connection to a mysterious entity, setting off a thrilling journey to discover the truth about life, death and who she is – a central theme that provides a rich and evocative narrative.

Academy Award® nominee Ellen Page builds on her already impressive body of work, and celebrates her first ever foray into gaming as the lead role of Jodie Holmes – a young woman who possesses supernatural powers through her link to an invisible entity she calls Aiden.

Speaking of her experiences, Page said, "The entire creative process has been a really interesting experience and I have constantly been surprised at the sheer scale of work that it takes to develop a game like this. Showing BEYOND: Two Souls at the Tribeca Film Festival earlier this year and then at the Tokyo Film Festival later this month, confirmed how far the world of gaming has come.  I honestly believe fans are going to have a truly unique and emotional experience."

The attending cast and creative team including Ellen Page, Willem Dafoe, David Cage, Kadeem Hardison and Lorne Balfe also took part in a panel discussion on the development of BEYOND: Two Souls and the ongoing convergence of gaming and film.

BEYOND: Two Souls releases exclusively for the PlayStation^®3 system on October 8, 2013 in North America. Developed by Quantic Dream, BEYOND: Two Souls delivers a gripping, non-chronological narrative that features performances by acclaimed actors Ellen Page (Juno, X-Men), Willem Dafoe (Platoon, Spider-Man), Kadeem Hardison (A Different World, The Dark Party) and Eric Winter (The Ugly Truth, The Mentalist).
