Hold onto your steering wheels NASCAR fans because the good people over at Activision have teamed up with Eutechnyx to bring you NASCAR The Game 2011. The game is set to release February 2011 on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii. The developers promise the infusion of real world detail and blistering action racing. This pairing looks to redefine what NASCAR fans expect from their NASCAR racing game.
The game has been completely redone from the ground up for an entirely new experience. NASCAR teams, fans and drivers were all quizzed so they can bring the love of NASCAR directly into the game. While in the game, fans can play as themselves or one of their favorite race car drivers in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Championship. Each pro driver has AI characteristics of his or her real world counterpart with the intense rivalries of the real world translating to the digital track as well. Cars feature real damage characteristics and the multi-car pile ups are said to be the most extreme ever experienced in an officially licensed game. Choose from 22 real world tracks to battle it out and feel the thrill of victory.
On the competitive side, NASCAR The Game 2011 will also feature 16 player online multiplayer which earn your driver points to unlock better rewards and career sponsorships.
“While NASCAR has enjoyed a rich history in video games, we really wanted to take the next generation of NASCAR games to a new level,” said Blake Davidson, Managing Director of Licensed Products at NASCAR. “By partnering directly with Eutechnyx, the leading driving game developer in the business, to create NASCAR The Game 2011, we are convinced NASCAR fans and gamers alike will be blown away by the result. With Activision as the publishing partner, we have the perfect combination to set the bar for all future NASCAR titles.”
“The NASCAR videogame fanbase has been underserved for a long time and we’re bringing them something very special,” says David Oxford, Activision Publishing. Ed Martin, Executive Vice President at Eutechnyx, adds, “It was crucial to take a fresh look at what makes the sport so popular. We’re working very closely with NASCAR, the drivers, the teams, the tracks and the sponsors to get all the minute details right, and give this game the polish and push the fans deserve.”
Tune into SPEED Channel at 10am EST Sunday October 3rd for the world premier trailer of the game. Fans will be able to see how this pairing of Activision and Eutechnyx can bring turning left to life.
