There has been several rumours of the popular parkour urban aerobatic game, ’Free-Running’ to be ported to both the Wii and the DS for a quite some time. It now has been confirmed by Peter Rezon, the managing director of Reef Entertainment.

“Following the success of Free Running across Europe, we’ve wanted to expand the game’s formats, and at the same time, play to each formats strengths. So with the Wii version for example, similar to our recent release Rogue Trooper: Quartz Zone Massacre, we’ve utilised the Wii controllers to great effect, making the Free Running experience unique to Wii. We now have physical interface which works brilliantly with the extreme sport which is Free Running! “We’ve refreshed the overall brand messaging with these versions (Wii and DS). We wanted to get to closer to the players who are doing the sport for real, so we’re also talking to existing Free Running teams and organisations to help with our current and long-term strategies for the franchise. We’ve focused very closely on maintaining the exciting pace, graphical looks, atmosphere and attitude that made the original games so popular and we’re very much looking forward to building on our Wii, PC and Nintendo DS portfolio with another innovative and original title.” The game is being released in Europe in Q2 2009.
