...And for three more platforms as well. In what is set to become one large cross-platform launch, THQ announced the continuation of Rainbow Studios' MX vs. ATV franchise with a new off-road racing game called MX vs. ATV Untamed, planned for release on six platforms: Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii, DS, PS2 and PSP. Aside from the last two versions, all the others should be unleashed in January 2008.
As with the previous recent instalments, the new MX vs. ATV will run on Rainbow's Rhythm Racing physics engine, but with added glitz in the next-gen versions, and "innovative gameplay" on Nintendo's equally innovative platforms. MX vs. ATV Untamed is set to feature bigger, more populated outdoor open-world environments, an X-cross career mode showcasing all eight vehicles and the all-new EnduroCross mode. If you're into off-road racing, the following extra details should prove useful:
"Rainbow's critically acclaimed physics have been supercharged with all-new improvements for next-gen action, featuring throttle based power-slides, near upside down whips and new scrubs at full speed, giving players more control than ever before while keeping the smooth, authentic feel not found in any other racing game. Players will compete in new event types, race with all-new vehicles and experience the ultimate X-Cross career mode, where they must master all eight vehicles, including the new ORV Sport. The largest, most detailed racing worlds to date will showcase all-new modes and event types, pitting racers against logs, rocks, mud pits and more in EnduroCross and letting players tear through treacherous trails with all the vehicles competing against each other in Opencross. Stadium-based Supercross racing will be returning, with all the top Motocross and ATV professional riders, and the entire game will be available online."
