“We’re really excited about the release of Summer Athletics, especially as it is the first realistic summer sports simulation for the Nintendo Wii and will tie in with the major sporting events occurring this summer.” Jon Brooke, Head of UK Marketing for Eidos. “It will provide hours of fun gaming for a wide audience and should really capture the mood of the summer.”

Eidos Europe will launch Summer Athletics on PS2/Wii/X360 and PC on August 15, while Conspiracy will release the PS2 and Wii edtions in North America somewhere during the month of August, 2008, while the X360 and PC editions are to follow later in the year.
