Good news, Diesel heads--new downlodable content for the console editions of Wheelman is on the way, bringing new missions to the action-driving game.

A total of six new missions are on offer, with one free and the remaining five bundled together for 400 MS Points ($5). Those that own the Xbox 360 release of Wheelman can get the content now, while PlayStation 3 owners will need to wait until Thursday.

When asked about a PC release for the DLC, a representative from publisher Ubisoft told Shacknews that there is "nothing to announce at the moment, but it is a possibility that we're exploring." For the curious, a list of the new missions follows... Read more

Sponsored by the letter "W," the Xbox Live Marketplace today received three new downloadable demos: Wanted, Wheelman, and WWE WreslteMania.

The Wheelman and WWE demos are currently restricted to Gold members only, while everyone can grab the Wanted demo. And hey, all three games are coming March 24.

Don't be surprised if PlayStation 3 demos for these three pop up later today, either. The Wanted demo is already confirmed, and the other two are rather likely candidates too.

Update: Wheelman co-publisher Ubisoft says the demo will hit PS3 on March 12.

Cars, fire, motorcycles, semis--yup, another batch of Wheelman screenhots has arrived.

The Vin Diesel-starring driving action game, developed by Midway Newcastle, arrives on PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on March 24. Expect console demos before release.

As Midway's spiral into bankruptcy continues, Ubisoft has announced that it will be handling the sales, marketing and distribution of Wheelman in most major markets.

In development at Midway's Newcastle studio, the driving-action game starring "action-film megastar" Vin Diesel will hit PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on March 24. Previously, Midway was set to handle all publishing duties for the title.

An Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 demo of Wheelman is expected before its release.

Specifically, Ubisoft will be responsible for the game's sales, marketing and distribution in North America, South America, Australia, New Zealand, France, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Ireland and the United Kingdom. Under the deal, Midway retains its future rights to the franchise, and the ability to sell the game in all other European territories.

Midway's upcoming Vin Diesel movie tie-in title Wheelman will now hit on March 20, several weeks later than the expected February 16 launch date of the driving-centric action title.

Wheelman (X360, PS3, PC) was set to serve as a prequel to the Hollywood film of the same name, with the two projects planned for a simultaneous launch. Midway offered no word on how this news will affect the release date of the movie.

The publisher did note that a demo for the game will now be made available on Xbox Live and PlayStation Network prior to its ship date.

Midway Newcastle's Vin Diesel-starring driving-action game Wheelman will hit PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on February 16, 2009, Midway announced today.

Originally slated to arrive in 2007, the oft-delayed open-world effort was co-produced by "action-film megastar" Diesel, with his production company, Tigon Studios, said to have worked on the game "in close partnership" with Midway Newcastle.

Both Tigon and Midway expect an eventual feature film, with a script in development.

"This is not just another run-of-the-mill, licensed Hollywood knock-off," asserted Midway CEO Matt Booty. "Wheelman features revolutionary new game design mechanics like cinematic super moves and vehicular combat. Once you experience Wheelman's Vehicle Melee, you'll never want to play another driving game without it!"

Sure, it's not out until next February, but that doesn't mean Midway is going to let you forget about its open-world, Vin Diesel-starring driving-action game Wheelman.

Today's new screenshots hail from the "Bringing It Home" mission, which seems to put PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 players in a fierce, no-holds-barred semi-on-semi battle. Meanwhile, a new gameplay video examines the game's second missions.

The oft-postponed game, once due in 2007 and then expected sometime this year, was apparently pushed to provide Midway Studios Newcastle more development time, and hopefully, result in a better product.
