Ubisoft has just announced a new game in the
Driver series for the PSP in March. The new title, called
Driver 76, will be developed by Sumo Digital and Ubisoft's own Reflections studios.
"Why
Driver 76?" you might ask. Because it's a prequel to the
Driver: Parallel Lines and set in 1976 is the uncomplicated answer.
Ubisoft describes it like so:
'Faithful to the brand spirit, Driver 76 is an action driving game that features Hollywood-style car chases while also letting the player experience the open environment on foot. The game thrusts the player into the heart of the 1970s, through 27 missions divided into six main plots. Players can take side jobs, earning cash that can be used to modify their rides. Driver 76 also offers an extensive multiplayer mode and a host of mini-games ranging from street races to all out carnage in Destruction Derby mode.'
This is the first all-new
Driver game since Ubisoft took over the license last year, so expect it to try and give the franchise a big ol' Ubisoft stamp. That and awesome hair.
