Codemasters Fuel Up

Codemasters announced that it will be publishing Fuel. This new racing title developed by Asobo Studios will release on PS3, PC and Xbox 360 in 2009. Fuel takes place in a 5,000 square mile environment, where racers compete to win fuel supplies in the barren wasteland.

"Fuel raises the bar in terms of scale and exhilaration for racing games. We begin with the largest racing environment to appear in gaming – ever. With our accelerated effects of climate change and dynamic weather system we add an extra dimension that change races on-the-fly and constantly presents new challenges to players," said Sebastian Wloch, Chief Executive Officer, Asobo Studios. "Player choice lies at the heart of Fuel's action-packed races and with a huge range of vehicles, packs of up to 16 vehicles speeding across diverse terrain and a no-boundaries, no-limits approach to racing, means players have never had so much freedom to conquer the wilderness and take the checkered flag."

"The technology Asobo Studios has developed to build Fuel is ground-breaking. To create a game on this unprecedented scale to this level of graphical quality, complete with all the dynamic weather effects, is a great achievement," said Barry Jafrato, Senior Vice President of Brand, Codemasters. "Fuel had to be a special title for Codemasters to include in our racing portfolio and we believe that from both a gameplay and a technical perspective, Fuel compliments our long standing tradition of driving excellence."
