Disney announced a surprise collaboration at D23 Expo with Bithell Games to produce a new game called Tron: Identity. The game is a visual novel that could make the unique Tron universe into a gripping game, but it has to survive a few pitfalls to get there.

Tron: Identity is a story-driven adventure game created by Mike Bithell, who leads Bithell Games. The visual novel style should suit the franchise extremely well since it has a history of comic books and physical visual novels. The new, original storyline created for the game brings the player to a setting after the Tron movies. 20 years after Kevin Flynn was released from the server, another Grid is experiencing unprecedented crime. In the story, the player enters the Grid as a crime-solving program Query and sets to solve the mystery.
