Italienska utvecklaren Milestone och utgivaren PQube har utannonserat sina planer för nästa års upplaga av MotoGP, och det visar sig innebära ett fullständigt namnbyte för serien. Det ska heta Valentino Rossi: The Game och som titeln antyder ska superstjärnan (niofaldig världsmästare) spela en stor roll, där vi bland annat får följa hans karriär. Det kommer heller inte bara kretsa kring skrevraketer denna gång, utan det vankas även bilar och besök på Valentino Rossi Ranch.
Här nedan hittar du den första trailern, och under den finns utdrag från pressreleasen.
Utvecklaren Milestone säger i ett officiellt uttalande:
"We are really enthusiastic about this partnership and project. Milestone has been developing MotoGP for a few years, but the experience we are going to offer all motorcycle racing and Valentino fans this year is quite simply unique. Players can grapple with the entire 2016 official championship, but most of all they can experience the passion, professionalism and experience of Valentino Rossi, both in and out of the championship, with exclusive rally and flat track content, as well as much more that only the number 46 can offer. We also like to think of this as an Italian project par excellence, which we're sure will be appreciated all over the world."
Rossi själv kommenterar detta såhär:
"I'm happy to announce that I'll participate in the making of Valentino Rossi The Game, along with the guys at Milestone. We chose to include both the most important elements of my MotoGP career, and all the extra circuit stuff that are so important to me, like Ranch, Rally and more. It will be fun to approach the game not only as a gamer, but also as a 'test driver'. I'll work with the development team to make sure all fans will get the best experience they ever had."
Valentino Rossi: The Game släpps i juni nästa år till PC, Playstation 4 och Xbox One.
