Atari moves Driv3r release date

January 27, 2004

In a press release regarding its net revenues and earnings for the third quarter ended December 31, 2003, Atari announced today that it has decided to move the release date of Driv3r from late March to June 1, 2004.

"The Driver franchise set the benchmark for the driving adventure genre, as the incredible legacy of Driver and Driver 2 has combined to sell more than 12 million units worldwide," said Bruno Bonnell, Chairman and CEO of Atari, Inc. "We believe that this additional time will give our marketing team the ability to exploit DRIV3R’s full potential, meeting the high expectations of gamers, media and shareholders."

This is not the first time that Driv3r, which had a working title of "Driver 3", has been delayed by its publisher. For information, screenshots, and movies on Driv3r, please check out our coverage of the game below.
