NEWS: 16 April 2007 14:02 GMT by Chris Ford Well, it looks like Moto GP has found a new home at Capcom, which has secured the rights to publish on the PlayStation. The first title out of the pits will be MotoGP ’07 (working title) which should be out this autumn on the PS2. In all likelihood the game will bring fans more by the seat of the pants action from the 18 Grand Prix circuits around the world, and feature Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, Ducati, Kawasaki, KTM and Aprilia bikes with all the top riders. Mark Beaumont, executive VP, officer and head of Capcom consumer software publishing in the Americas and Europe said, "MotoGP is the most exciting motor sport on the planet and we are really thrilled to be partnering with them". “This project clearly demonstrates Capcom’s intent to broaden its portfolio to include both original and licensed IP, work with the best developer talent and brands from across the globe to create new exciting gaming experiences. MotoGP is a multi-million unit selling franchise on PlayStation formats and we look forward to taking it to the next level.” Carmelo Ezpeleta, CEO of Dorna Sports, the exclusive holder of all commercial and TV rights to MotoGP commented, “Capcom’s long tradition for innovation and pushing technological boundaries in pursuit of delivering high quality entertainment perfectly matches the core values of the MotoGP brand and we’re delighted to be partnering with them”.
