OutRun Online Arcade Announced

SEGA has announced that the Outrun franchise is back. This time it comes with the name OutRun Online Arcade and will be put up for digital download on Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network in early 2009. Sumo Digital, makers of SEGA Superstars Tennis, Virtua Tennis 3 and Super Rub a Dub, will be responsible for development duties.

OutRun Online Arcade will bring back the original 15 OutRun courses, but this time will be made with HD graphics and online play. Up to six players will be able to take to the streets in online races with three modes: OutRun, Heart Attack and Time Attack. Outrun Online Arcade will feature 10 fully licensed Ferrari cars and, of course, will support achievements and trophies.
