Midway has announced that its Vin Diesel game The Wheelman will be released on PS3 and Xbox 360 on February 20th in the US and Europe.

Developed between Midway Newcastle and Vin Diesel’s Tigon Studios, The Wheelman will be backed by a ‘multi-million dollar’ marketing campaign.

Midway said it is also planning to turn the game into a major motion picture, with a script already in development.

“We’re designing Wheelman to play like a Hollywood blockbuster,” said Vin Diesel.

“Playing this game will be just like taking control of the greatest car chases from feature films, except this time you’re in the driver’s seat.”

Midway executive vice president Martin Spiess added: “Featuring Vin Diesel and set in Barcelona, Wheelman is a title with enormous sales potential. We’re making a multi-million dollar marketing investment to make sure that gamers around the world are ready when Wheelman goes on sale worldwide, which we have planned for February 2009.”
