Finally, this is the news I've been waiting to hear...Bam! Entertainment has signed an agreement with SCEA to publish both WipEout: Fusion and Dropship: United Peace Force in North America. For months the fate of these two titles has been languishing in uncertainty, but now North American PS2 owners can rejoice that these two Sony titles are headed to our fair shores.
"We are delighted to confirm that we are expanding our publishing deal with BAM! Entertainment, who have demonstrated focus, energy and commitment to driving the PS2 and its superb range of software titles to the North American market. The WipEout/ Dropship agreement underlines our confidence in BAM! Entertainment as a valued and trusted publishing partner and we look forward to working together with them," said Phil Harrison, Senior Vice President of Development, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe.
"Given the impact the WipEout series had on the original PlayStation, and the positive editorial reviews for Dropship, these titles are highly anticipated games on the PS2," said Bernard Stolar, President and Chief Operating Officer of BAM! Entertainment. "Once again the development team at Sony Computer Entertainment Europe offers the North American market superb content, stunning graphics and challenging gameplay."
