As the “Great American Race” approaches, NASCAR is hitting the gas on the racetrack and into gamers’ homes with the release of NASCAR ’14. Deep Silver announced today that the racing game NASCAR ’14, developed by ETX Racing, is available in North America on the Xbox 360® games and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system and Steam for Windows PC for the suggested retail price of $49.99.
NASCAR ’14 includes the most requested gaming feature: online leagues, allowing gamers to band together to overtake rivals on the track. NASCAR ’14 also delivers skill-based matchmaking for the first time in franchise history.
When gamers aren’t competing online, they can build their career or take the wheel of their favorite drivers to relive the best NASCAR moments from 2013 and purchase new 2014 highlights throughout the season. Using authentic physics and real race data from licensed drivers, and featuring all NASCAR-sanctioned tracks, fans can keep current with the 2014 NASCAR season by buying monthly content packs filled with multiple races for only $5 each. NASCAR fans can now do more than just watch the race – they can drop into a recreation of an exact race moment soon after it happens to relive or rewrite history.
Tony Stewart, the three-time NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champion and winner of the “Drive For the Cover” contest, was chosen by more than 700,000 fans to appear on the front of the box. Today gamers can race as Stewart or more than 40 other licensed drivers in NASCAR ’14 and then watch him as he returns to the track at the Daytona 500 on February 23.
“Deep Silver is releasing the best NASCAR game yet,” said Deep Silver Inc. COO, Geoff Mulligan. “By delivering a true NASCAR experience that captures the competitive thrill of the sport, we are allowing hardcore fans to get as close to the track as possible.”
“ With the Daytona 500 only a week away, the level of anticipation for the 2014 NASCAR season is reaching its climax with teams, drivers and fans,” said Blake Davidson, NASCAR Vice President of licensing and consumer products. “We are equally as excited about the launch of NASCAR ’14, as it brings our sport into the homes of gaming enthusiasts across the country.”
