Bethesda announces futuristic racer, Wheelspin

Bethesda Softworks Europe has signed up a new futuristic racer made for the Wii by Archer Maclean’s studio Awesome Play. Due out in fall 2009

“Wheelspin is a frantically fast-paced game which pushes the Wii to its maximum capabilities. With nothing but your own reactions and the tilt of the Wii Remote between you and victory, this game is a truly thrilling experience. Archer Maclean and Awesome Play have delivered a great game which we believe gamers will relish the chance to get to grips with. Wheelspin makes great use of the controllers supported by the Wii and players will find that there’s the perfect control set up for their individual gaming styles.”
- Sean Brennan, MD of Bethesda parent ZeniMax Europe.

“Wheelspin was designed exclusively for the Wii – with the intention of pushing the hardware further than any other Wii racing game to date. You have to see the graphics moving to believe its coming out of a Wii – the visuals rush past smoothly at 60 FPS all in widescreen 480P mode. We are very pleased to be working with Sean and his team at Bethesda, many of whom have been involved with my previous titles going back 20 years.”
- Archer Maclean.
