Press Release
Thursday 14th March (3pm UK / 8am PT) –
Today Codemasters® released ‘World Series Racing Part 1: An
American Dream’, the first in a new series of trailers for GRID 2™
now showing at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFOF7eC5C4w. The
video is narrated by Patrick Callahan, the entrepreneur and founder
of World Series Racing, the fictional cross-discipline motor racing
championship that runs throughout GRID 2, who introduces his vision
for the series and its beginnings in the USA.
In the video,
Patrick Callahan outlines his plans for a new motorsports series and
introduces players to two key racing clubs he needs to recruit as
in-game footage showcases some of GRID 2’s American locations,
including Street Racing in Chicago, Track Racing at the legendary
Indianapolis Motor Speedway and Road Racing at the dramatic
California Coast. It’s Callahan’s intention to bring the
best drivers from different disciplines and styles from all over the
world together to compete in one unified league and find the ultimate
driving superstar. But to set up a new motorsports series, and get
the rewards he craves, he needs a star. And that’s where the player
comes in...
As Patrick Callahan’s raw talent, GRID 2 players
will travel the world, recruiting race clubs and their drivers to
compete in new and traditional racing events, crossing in and out of
their established disciplines. Callaghan figures if he can get the
best, the crowds will come. And then he’ll bring the eyes of the
world onto his new series.
GRID 2’s world will reflect the
progress players make in the game. Perform on the track and gamers
will grow their fanbase, earning fame - GRID 2’s xp - allowing them
access to new events, sponsors, cars and increasing their profile. To
immerse players further in this new world of competitive motorsport,
Codemasters has collaborated with ESPN to create exclusive in-game
ESPN SportsCenter live-action video sequences that chart the rise of
World Series Racing as it grows from a grass-roots curiosity to a
headline-grabbing championship in the global sports market.
GRID
2, the long-awaited sequel to the BAFTA-award winning, critically
acclaimed Race Driver: GRID™, will race into retail on 31st May for
the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft,
PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system and Windows® PC and is
available for pre-order now.
