Midway continues new IP drive with This is Vegas

Midway Games has announced new title This is Vegas from The Suffering developer Surreal Software.

The open-world game is a new project for the publisher, as it continues to show commitment to creating new intellectual properties for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC, such as the recently released John Woo's Stranglehold and Blacksite: Area 51.

"We are thrilled to be unveiling the first-ever videogame experience which allows players to live out their wildest Vegas fantasies," commented Alan Patmore, studio head at Surreal.

"Whether it's partying in the hottest night clubs, racing in underground circuits, testing your luck at the tables or getting into a bar-room brawl, This is Vegas has it all," he said.

This is Vegas is currently due for release in winter 2008.
