SouthPeak Games today announced the development of Iridium Runners, a racing game that places gamers into a futuristic world where they are literally running for their lives. In the works at Italian game studio Playstos Entertainment, Iridium Runners will feature several game modes, from full championship to single race, with the highlight being split-screen multiplayer. Split into traditional free-for-all racing and a tactically rich team mode, Iridium Runners' multiplayer allows for CPU players to fill space where human adversaries aren't available. The team mode features two teams with two players each, with each team having to balance racing for the finish line with hampering the efforts of their opponents by making good use of all the available collectables. Iridium Runners will be available in February 2008, for PS2 - the first two screenshots found their way in our gallery.
