[ October 20th 2004 ]
Eidos,
one of the world's leading publishers and developers
of entertainment software, and Macrospace, the
global provider of mobile games and mobile gaming
services, announce a deal to bring Crash 'n' Burn
Turbo(TM) to mobile phones. Under the terms of
the agreement Macrospace will publish the mobile
phone version of Eidos' forthcoming arcade-style
driving game Crash 'n' Burn(TM). In partnership
with Eidos, Macrospace will actively promote the
mobile title across all geographies and handset
technologies, with versions of the game planned
for Java, BREW and i-mode phones.
Crash
'n' Burn Turbo is a fast and furious driving game
where the aim is not just to win races, but to
survive them. Choose your car, personalise it,
and then attempt to leave your opponents trailing
in a cloud of nitrous smoke over 16 different
street circuits. You can also compare your fastest
times against players around the world. Crash
'n' Burn Turbo will be released in November, simultaneously
with the PlayStation 2 and Xbox versions of Crash
'n' Burn.
Kristian
Segerstråle, head of products and services at
Macrospace says: "The chance to develop the mobile
version of such a stunning console title is a
great win for Macrospace, and working with such
a great company as Eidos has been a really positive
experience. Creating mobile games in tandem with
console titles creates a unique opportunity for
adding to the overall game experience. Through
Macrospace's mobile expertise and Eidos' proven
strength in the console and PC space, gamers can
be sure that they will be getting a fantastic
game to play, whatever the platform."
Simon
Protheroe, Eidos' director of new media and online
technologies says: "Macrospace has done an exceptional
job in recreating the excitement of the console
version of Crash 'n' Burn on a mobile phone. With
the compelling gameplay on offer, coupled with
Macrospace's exceptional distribution reach, we
are confident that Crash 'n' Burn Turbo will be
a big hit with mobile gamers."
