News: Project CARS finally has a publisher and will be available later this year for the Xbox One, PS4, Wii U and PC.

Bandai Namco has revealed that they have come to an agreement with UK developer Slightly Mad Studios to distribute Project CARS worldwide starting in November on Xbox One, PS4, Wii U and PC. Bandai Namco Games America Inc. will be distributing the title across the Americas.

Project CARS is the most authentic, beautiful, intense, and technically-advanced racing game on the planet. Crowd-funded by a passionate community that has been involved in the development process throughout to create their ultimate racing experience, Project CARS allows you to create a driver, pick from a huge variety of motorsports, and shift into high gear to chase a number of Historic Goals and ultimate recognition in the Hall Of Fame. Then test your skills online either in competitive fully-loaded race weekends, leaderboard-based time challenges, or continually-updated community events – sometimes for real-world prizes.

Project Cars features the largest track roster of any recent racing game with a dynamic time of day & weather system, world-class graphics and handling, deep tuning & pit stop functionality and support for Oculus Rift and Project Morpheus.

“We are thrilled to be partnering with Slightly Mad Studios for Project CARS,” said Chris Gilbert Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing for BANDAI NAMCO Games America Inc. “Combining the passion of an involved racing community with the talents of an extremely talented development team with pro-racing expertise creates an unprecedented collaborative effort to develop a true next-gen racing experience.”

“With a portfolio of prestigious, popular and iconic titles under their wing, BANDAI NAMCO Games Inc. are the perfect partners to bring our pioneering community-driven game to players around the world,” said Ian Bell, Head of Studio, Slightly Mad Studios.
