Ubisoft Acquires TrackMania Dev Nadeo
by Nick Breckon, Oct 05, 2009 12:40pm PDTPublisher Ubisoft today announced it has acquired developer Nadeo, the fellows behind the popular TrackMania racing series.
"We are excited about the idea of introducing TrackMania to an ever-wider audience and sharing the expertise of Nadeo's teams with our company's other developers," said Ubisoft president Yves Guillemot of the deal.
Founded in 2000, Nadeo released the first TrackMania in 2003, a multiplayer arcade racing game that allowed players to create their own tracks. The company has released several versions of the game since, including the recent TrackMania DS. A new TrackMania Wii title and a full PC sequel are both in the works.
Over 700,000 PC players log in to play TrackMania on a monthly basis, according to Ubisoft. Around 10 million players have registered with the game, creating 15 million user-made tracks since 2008.

Trackmania would be an awesome XBOX Live Arcade game. They should look into that.
The only real complaint about the game is that the graphics, while good, aren't really that flashy. Hopefully they will release a new environment or 2, and maybe a few new game modes (or work on making some existing modes like 'Stunts' more popular by releasing a single player campaign for it like the single player racing campaign).
