The New York-based publisher and developer Atari will be releasing a series of multiplatform "horse sport and lifestyle games," after securing an exclusive worldwide official license from the International Equestrian Federation.
Atari plans to release the first in this series on "multiplatforms" in Autumn 2007.
In a statement, the company said, "Atari will work closely with the International Equestrian Federation to deliver a level of detail and authenticity never before seen in the gaming genre, delivering products which offer the most realistic and enjoyable equestrian video game experience possible."
The International Equestrian Federation--or Fédération Equestre Internationale--was founded in 1921 and is an international body governing equestrian sport endorsed by the International Olympic Committee. It is responsible for over 2,000 horse events annually across the world and the current president is HRH Princess Haya Bint Al Hussein of Jordan.
