Black Bean Games announce an exclusive and long-term publishing deal with Youth stream, the FIM Motocross World Championship promoter, to deliver the ultimate and extreme Motocross experience on console and PC.“Following our long history of motorbike racing games, we thought something was missing in the overall market segment, the extraordinary fun of a spectacular off-road championship on two wheels”, said Fabrizio Vagliasindi, Strategic Corporate Coordinator of Black Bean Games. “The FIM Motocross World Championship is the fastest growing motor sport discipline in Europe. Adrenaline, Fun, Mud, Engines, Motorbikes….the best ingredients for Milestone and Black Bean Games”.

Black Bean Games’ experience, know-how and technology will provide fans with the possibility to really take part in the FIM Motocross World Championship via game.”
FIM Motocross World Championship is being developed by Milestone, the largest Italian developer studios focused on the racing genre and very well known internationally for the creation of some of the greatest motorsport competitions videogames, such as SBK World Superbike Championship and WRC World Rally Championship.
Motocross is an off-road discipline that combines many key factors of sports such as passion, emotions, skills, thrills and adrenaline, offering an exclusive mix of excitement, glamour and fervid competition. These elements, together with all the real tracks and riders, will be part of the official video game. Straights, corners, jumps, slides: there is nothing smooth about Motocross but riders are there to shape it up. The ending is always a surprise. This is why bike enthusiasts get excited, and this is why gamers will love the video game.
FIM Motocross World Championship is scheduled for release in 2011 and will be available on PlayStation 3, Xbox360 and PC. The Black Bean Games video game will allow gamers to go through both the MX1 and MX2 World Championships, as well as exclusively challenge the Motocross of Nations, the massive worldwide annual event.
