Capcom today confirmed that it has secured exclusive worldwide rights to publish official videogames and create peripherals based on the World’s premier motorcycling championship, MotoGP across all hardware platforms.

The agreement will run for five years and supersedes the existing rights granted to publish titles on the PlayStation platforms which saw last year’s successful release of MotoGP 07 for the PlayStation 2.

As part of this new agreement Capcom intends to initially publish titles based on the 2008 MotoGP season for the Xbox 360, Playstation 3 the Wii, PC platform and the PlayStation 2, plus versions for mobile handsets.

Carmelo Ezpeleta, CEO of Dorna Sports, the exclusive holder of all commercial and TV rights to MotoGP commented: “Capcom has already shown its ability to deliver a title that captures the essence of MotoGP and we look forward to working with them over the next five years”.
