INFOGRAMES GOES BIG ON XBOX
August 23, 2001

Infogrames will release both NASCAR Heat 2002 and Test Drive Off-Road - Wide Open along with the Xbox when it launches this November. The company will follow that up with TransWorld Surf, which will be available shortly after launch. Currently, Infogrames has 20 more Xbox games in development slated to be in stores within the next 12 months.

"The technological power of Xbox has raised the bar for game developers, enabling our creative teams to push the envelope, and resulting in a new kind of entertainment experience for consumers," said Bruno Bonnell, Chairman and CEO of Infogrames. "That Infogrames will be one of the largest third-party publishers of Xbox titles at the platform launch demonstrates that we share Microsoft's vision for the future of gaming. We believe future-generation platforms, such as Xbox, represent the next important chapter in gaming, driving both audience and industry growth."
