NASCAR '15 Given Release Date

The newest NASCAR video game will be released on May 22, developer DM Racing announced on Friday.

The new title, NASCAR '15, is a standalone update to the previous game, NASCAR '14.  Developer DMi Games took over the NASCAR license in January.

NASCAR '15 will not be a completely new game, but will instead be a glorified update to NASCAR '14.  The game will feature the current lineup of Sprint Cup Series drivers, the 2015 schedule and rules changes, along with over 60 paint schemes.  There will also be DLC content in the future.

After DMi Games took over the NASCAR license from developer Eutechnyx, the company promised to bring a new NASCAR sim racer to current-gen consoles.  The company announced Friday it is hard at work on that game, which should hit PS4, Xbox One and PC sometime in 2016.

NASCAR '15 will be available on May 22 for PS3 and Xbox 360 for $19.99, exclusively at Gamestop.  The game will be available digitally on the Xbox Live Marketplace and Playstation Store, as well as on PC via Steam. 

You can now preorder the game on PS3 and Xbox 360 on Gamestop's website.

What do you think of NASCAR '15? Will you be jumping behind the wheel on May 22?

NASCAR Games Get New Developer

DMi Games has taken over development duties on all new NASCAR video games moving forward.

The change was announced on Eutechnyx's Twitter account on Wednesday morning.  The announcement said that DMi Games would take over and deliver a "high quality NASCAR digital game fan experience."  The Eutechnyx NASCAR Twitter and Facebook pages will be shut down on January 21.

DMi Games has been founded by Tom Dusenberry and Ed Martin.  The two have joined forces with HC2 to create NASCAR Interactive Entertainment publisher Dusenberry-Martin Interactive - DMi Games.

Both Dusenberry and Martin are veterans of the video games industry, and Martin has worked on past iterations of NASCAR games with Eutechnyx. 

DMi announced that it had acquired game assets from Eutechnyx, and the company has moved to Charlotte, NC.
