Publisher SouthPeak Games has announced development of a new racing title for PlayStation 2, titled Iridium Runners.

The game is being developed by Playstos Entertainment, and takes place in the year 2050, where players compete in a series of sponsored, futuristic on-foot races in the appropriately named Iridium Championship.

Gamers will be able to employ a variety of weapons and other collectibles to aid them in their quest for pole position, as you race around what the developers are touting as a series of “inventive” tracks. Featured game modes include championship and single player races, in addition to full split screen multiplayer functionality.

SouthPeak Games Vice President Melanie Mroz, commented, “Iridium Runners is another example of the fun, distinctive and unique titles that we look to publish. The PlayStation 2 market is still thriving and Iridium Runners will represent great value for money, thanks in no small part to the team at Playstos.”

Luca Da Rios, CEO and Executive Producer of Playstos Entertainment added, “It’s fantastic to be working with the team at SouthPeak Games on Iridium Runners. Their dedication and enthusiasm matches ours and together, I’m confident that we’ll see Iridium Runners become a success in the wide range of territories that SouthPeak reaches”.

Iridium Runners is due out on PlayStation 2 in February 2008.
