March 2007

Today Ubisoft, one of the world’s largest video
game publishers, announced that it will launch the Driver® 76 video game for the
PSP® (PlayStation Portable) system. Driver 76 will feature all-new content with
27 new missions exclusively designed for gaming on the go. Driver 76 is the
first all-new edition of the famed Driver series to be released since Ubisoft
acquired the franchise in 2006. Developed by Sumo Digital Ltd. and Ubisoft’s
Reflections studio, Driver 76 will be released in March 2007.

Faithful to the brand spirit, Driver 76 is an
action driving game that features Hollywood-style car chases while also letting
the player experience the open environment on foot. The game thrusts the player
into the heart of the 1970s, through 27 missions divided into six main plots.
Players can take side jobs, earning cash that can be used to modify their rides.
