With
the 2012 London Olympic Games fast approaching, 505 Games has announced
that its acquired the publishing rights to Adidas miCoach, after THQ
lost the license having been sued for $10.6 million by Adidas after
failing to deliver the game in January. 505 Games will now be looking to
release the fitness title this summer.
Adidas
miCoach is a "personal training system" suitable for all ages, that
enables players to build their own custom workouts with the ability to
track your progress, get coaching feedback and hopefully see
improvements in your personal fitness. Using Kinect motion tracking,
Adidas miCoach will also feature 18 pro athletes and more than 400
exercises.
All 18 athletes in Adidas
miCoach will be sponsored by Adidas, and include the likes of Kaka,
Dwight Howard, Manuel Neuer, Jessica Ennis, Jose Mourinho, Ana Ivanovic,
Will Genia and Eric Berry, all of whom will provide their own
masterclasses based upon their own sport. Does that mean Mourinho will
be teaching you how to manage a football team then? Weird.
Adidas
miCoach has been in development for over a year and a half at UK studio
Chromativity (formerly Lightning Fish Games) under exclusive license
from Adidas, and will be launching in summer 2012. Check out some
screens below.
