14 DAY TRIAL // Video game publisher Namco Bandai Games Europe announces that it is working on a new Ridge Racer video game, called Driftopia, which is set to arrive on the PC and on the PlayStation 3 from Sony later during the year.
The entire experience will be offered via digital download under a free-to-play business model.
Olivier Comte, the senior vice president at Namco Bandai Games Europe, states, “we are committed to embracing new business models alongside the still vital traditional retail sector.”
He adds, “Free-to-play is playing an increasingly important role, so it’s very exciting to be bringing one of our most successful franchises to the free-to-play space for everyone to enjoy.”
As the name suggests, drifting will be at the core of the new Ridge Racer experience and more details are set to arrive soon.
