Leaping tall buildings in a single bound
Just like the title says people, Reef Entertainment has secured the rights to major UK development company Rebellion’s new extreme sports franchise Free Running on PlayStation 2 and PlayStation Portable.
“This is a major coup for us” said Reef’s CEO Peter Rezon. “Free Running or Le Parkour, as it’s known in France, has been one of the fastest growing underground youth sports over the past two years, gaining massive popularity around the world.”
“With a breakout into the mainstream for its leading exponents and high profile recognition of the sport through films such as District 13, the new James Bond movie Casino Royale, and Madonna’s music video for her number-one single ‘Jump’, everyone is beginning to see just how exciting this sport is,” continued Rezon. “We are expecting great things from the game.”
Rebellion acquired all the rights to Free Running, along with the registered trademarks, through its acquisition of Core Design Studios from Eidos Interactive earlier in the year.
