Ubisoft wants Australia, New Zealand to test Driver: Speedboat Paradise with the game’s “soft launch”

Ubisoft today announced that Driver: Speedboat Paradise is “soft launching” in Australia and New Zealand for iOS devices.

Ubisoft says it “plans to incorporate feedback from players in the region into the final development of the game, which is planned for release in 2015.

Driver: Speedboat Paradise offers an enthralling combination of thrilling arcade racing and engaging storytelling,” Ubisoft’s press release continued. “Players will strive to make a name for their Driver by taking control of the most powerful speedboats in the ruthless world of underground powerboat racing. Players will encounter obstacles in a dark underworld of criminal activity and witness the return of legendary cop John Tanner.”

Driver: Speedboat Paradise is available for free via the App Store, here. Ubisoft didn’t mention when the rest of the world will get the game.
