Activision Publishing Inc. has announced it will release NPPL (National Professional Paintball League) Championship Paintball 2009 later this year.
The title, due for release on Xbox 360, PlayStation 2 and 3 and Nintendo Wii, will be officially licensed by the NPPL, the sport's governing body.
"We appreciate the fact that the bar has been raised with extreme sports games, and that paintball enthusiasts demand an obsessive attention to detail. Our goal has been to over-deliver in a way that pleases both camps," said Shawn Walker, NPPL President.
"It's been a long wait for next-gen paintball experience, but the work on NPPL Championship Paintball 2009 has paid off and the game is a huge step forward for the genre and the sport."
The realistic paintball sim will feature officially branded gear and authentic tournament locations and field layouts from the NPPL, the Millennium European Paintball Series, and the XPSL. There will also be the option to hone your skills in career mode or go head-to-head with other players in multiplayer mode.
"NPPL Championship Paintball 2009 captures the raw intensity of hardcore paintball in this new breed of extreme sports / first person action entertainment," Dave Oxford, Activision Publishing. "The game represents our ongoing commitment to the sport and our goal to create the most realistic, competitive experience possible."
