Ubisoft adds CSI: Miami to product line-up
Ubisoft, one of the world's largest video game publishers, CBS Consumer Products and Alliance Atlantis today announced an exclusive licensing agreement for Ubisoft to publish games based on the popular television series CSI: Miami for the PC. This new CSI game is slated to launch worldwide on PC for Winter 2004-05.

Developed by 369 Interactive, CSI: Miami will follow the format of Ubisoft's successful CSI: Crime Scene Investigation game series. Players will solve a number of complex cases working with the stars of the show. Investigation includes using high-tech forensic tools to find the evidence, as well as interrogation and puzzle solving.

"We will incorporate the same attention to detail that made the CSI: Crime Scene Investigation games so popular in the US and Europe alike," says Tony Van, Executive Producer for the CSI series of games. "We look forward to taking everything that makes CSI: Miami unique as a series and infuse it into our game."

Ken Ross, Vice President and General Manager of CBS Consumer Products, declares, "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation has gone from television phenomenon to video game phenomenon, and CSI: Miami is poised to repeat that success."

Jennifer Bennett, VP Merchandising and Licensing at Alliance Atlantis, adds, "Ubisoft did an all-around terrific job with CSI: Crime Scene Investigation and I look forward to working with them to build on that success with the CSI: Miami game."
