System 3 and Activision Set to Unleash Ferrari Challenge Trofeo Pirelli for PLAYSTATION(R)3 system, PlayStation(R)2 system, Wii(TM), and Nintendo DS(TM)
Activision, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATVI) announced today that it has signed a
distribution deal with System 3 which will see the world’s
largest third-party publisher release the forthcoming Ferrari
Challenge Trofeo Pirelli throughout North America. Ferrari
Challenge Trofeo Pirelli will hit shelves late summer 2008 for
PLAYSTATION®3 and PlayStation®2
computer entertainment systems, Wii™, and
Nintendo DS™.
"Without a doubt, this is the defining
Ferrari experience for video games,” said
Mark Cale, CEO at System 3. "It has been a
collaboration with professionals on every level and we’ve
truly captured the power, beauty, and excitement that is the Ferrari
Challenge Series. This excitement is taken to a whole new level with the
partnership of Activision’s power within the
North American marketplace.” "For the last sixty years Ferrari has been
synonymous with precision, performance and elegant design, so
expectations for the game will be high from auto enthusiasts and racing
game fans alike,” said Dave Oxford,
Activision Publishing. "Everyone involved in Ferrari
Challenge Trofeo Pirelli has been dedicated to ensuring this
product over-delivers on the experience of this legendary brand.” Ferrari Challenge Trofeo Pirelli is a visual powerhouse
with a racing style that is fast and accessible, yet the feel is more "sim”
than arcade. It includes over 15 international racing circuits along
with multiple gameplay modes such as Ferrari Challenge Seasons, Time
Trial, Quick Race, and Endurance. Racing can be taken online with up to
16 players in a variety of challenges including circuits, hill climbs,
and more.
Downloadable content will be continually released for the Ferrari
Challenge Trofeo Pirelli community, and the official team and
car rosters can be updated at the start of each season to reflect
real-world lineups. Moreover, downloadable cars, tracks and
customization options will be made available on a monthly basis to keep
ravenous Ferrari fans satisfied.
System 3 and Activision will showcase Ferrari Challenge Trofeo
Pirelli on PLAYSTATION®3 to the
public for the first time at the Montreal Grand Prix from June 6th -
8th, 2008. There will be playable kiosks open to the all attendees in
the Fan Zone.
