Focus Home Interactive announced that Le Tour de France, one of the most prestigious and popular sporting events in the world, will be arriving on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 for the first time later this year.
“It’s been a long time that we (at Cyanide) have been thinking of a cycling game especially designed for home consoles. We could not adapt to consoles what perfectly works on PC with Pro Cycling Manager, so we worked on different prototypes before achieving a satisfying result last year,” said Patrick Pligersdorffer, CEO of developer Cyanide.
Tour de France is the first important step in our quest for the ideal cycling simulation for home consoles,” he added.
While the series on PC, Pro Cycling Manager, is more team strategy-oriented and concerns management over a full season, Tour de France: The Official Game focuses on the biggest cycling event: Le Tour de France, where you control a single rider in each of the 21 official stages playable in the game.
Tour de France: The Official Game is developed by Cyanide and will release on 1st July.
