Test Drive: Eve of Destruction confirmed for the Xbox

Atari today announced that an Xbox version of Test Drive: Eve of Destruction will be joining the previously announced PlayStation 2 version in stores this fall. Currently in development at Monster Games, Eve of Destruction is the first game in the long-running Test Drive series to feature vehicle damage, dirt tracks, extreme racing events, and unorthodox vehicles, such as school buses, taxis, and hearses.

"We are thrilled to bring Test Drive: Eve of Destruction, the sequel to 2002's Platinum Hits Test Drive, to Xbox fans this fall," said Nancy MacIntyre, vice president of marketing for Atari's Beverly Studios. "Monster Games has reinvigorated the Test Drive franchise with this fresh departure from static road-course racing without losing touch with the core elements that have made Test Drive one of the most recognized and successful racing franchises in video game history."

We'll bring you more information on the Xbox version of Test Drive: Eve of Destruction as soon as it becomes available.
