The 3DO Company today announced it has signed an agreement with expert racing game developer, Eutechnyx, to produce an immersive street racing title for next generation gaming consoles. The titles are expected to be available in Summer 2003.
Eutechnyx is the world's leading driving game development specialist, having produced racing titles for such multinational publishers as Eidos Interactive, Electronic Arts and Infogrames and having worked with such popular brands as "Formula One", "James Bond 007" and "Le Mans 24 Hours." The company has also won several prestigious awards including the Sunday Times Tech Track 100, Deloitte and Touche Fast 50 Award and PC Format Gold Award.
"Eutechnyx really has racing games down - it's all they do. It's what really attracted us to working with them," said Jeff Cretcher, vice-president, product development. "Their highly specialized expertise allows us to concentrate on what's really important - making a great game."
"We are really excited about working with 3DO on this development project," said Brian Jobling, managing director of Eutechnyx. "With 'Street Racing' (working title), what we'll give gamers will go beyond driving superfast cars - we'll be giving them the opportunity to experience the whole street racing culture."
