Infogrames, Inc., a leading global publisher of interactive entertainment software, is creating a third installment in the smash hit Driver series, currently titled Driver 3, for the Xbox video game system by Microsoft, the PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system, the Nintendo GameCube and personal computer. The game is being developed by Infogrames’ own Reflections Interactive in Newcastle, England, the team responsible for the original two Driver games and the current hit release, Stuntman.
“Gamers love the Driver series and have made it one of the best selling games of all time – Driver 2 continues to top the sales charts on the original PlayStation,” said Jean-Philippe Agati, senior vice president and general manager of Infogrames’ Los Angeles studio. “Reflections is already working on bringing all the excitement associated with the Driver franchise to the next generation consoles.”
Driver 3 is scheduled for release in 2003.
