NASCAR THE GAME: INSIDE LINE IS PLANNED TO LAUNCH FALL 2012

Racing fans, it looks like your racing wheel will be back in business as Activision announced this morning that the independent racing game developer Eutechnyx, is working on a new NASCAR game to be released this fall. According to the press release, NASCAR The Game: Inside Line will be available for the Wii, the PS3 and the Xbox 360 (what about the WiiU?).

    “We set out to reinvent NASCAR gaming last year with NASCAR® The Game™ 2011 – and we’re very proud of it. With our continued enhancements to that game, and our very passionate fans helping guide us, we have an amazing platform to go to the next level with NASCAR The Game: Inside Line,” said Dave Thompson, Executive Producer at Eutechnyx. “We’ve added a new in-depth career mode and robust online features that include realistic race weekends, and now aspiring drivers can rise up through the ranks, attract sponsors, and upgrade their car’s components in the quest to be the Sprint Cup Series Champion.”

    “The collaboration between Activision and Eutechnyx produced last year’s hugely successful NASCAR game experience,” said David Oxford, Executive Vice President, Activision Publishing. “NASCAR The Game: Inside Line builds on that platform and adds a number of innovative, cutting edge features that will give fans and gamers alike the chance to participate in the sport like never before.”

    Blake Davidson, Vice President of Licensing & Consumer Products at NASCAR and board member of NASCAR Team Properties, said, “The way Eutechnyx has integrated themselves into the sport has been amazing. From the fans to the teams, to NASCAR itself and now with our broadcast partners, they have been channeling that into something that evolves our NASCAR games into revolutionary interactive entertainment. We think the fans will really enjoy all of the new features Eutechnyx has incorporated into the latest game.”
