Publisher commits to six year deal with International Sports Multimedia

In an exclusive six year deal with International Sports Multimedia, Eidos will publish titles based on the Sydney 2000 and Athens 2004 Olympic Games, as well as the Salt Lake City 2002 Winter Olympics. The first title, to be based on the Sydney games, is already underway at the Attention to Detail studio in Warwick, England.

In the press release announcing the deal, Mike McGarvey, Eidos' CEO, said: "We are absolutely delighted to be publishing games based on what is undoubtedly the biggest event in the worldwide sports calendar, the Olympic Games." McGarvey went on to say, "The Millennium Games will be something special, with the eyes of the whole world focused on Sydney. We will be publishing a top quality game that will let people the world over feel they are able to participate in the excitement."
